Personal Narrative: Blackheart
I bring my callous fingers swiftly down on my keyboard desperately typing to my newfound comrades, praying my warning is delivered before it’s too late. I smash my pinky finger into the enter button, sending a quick jolt of pain through my hand, and sit anxiously waiting for it to appear on screen. My heart drops to my feet as I stare in horror at the sight of my ally being bombarded with attack after attack unable to even plead for help. I am too late.
Through technology we have been able to connect with millions of people from all reaches of the world. My whole body tingles with excitement as I stare at the screen in front of me; Finally, after what feels like an eternity it connects to the endless variety of team members that lay before me. However, before video games were introduced to the population we were separate people divided only by great expanses of saltwater, and now we have come together and built impossibly long bridges with just the click of a

These people, whoever they may be, are part of my team and just sitting back and watching as they get slaughtered is not something I can do in good conscious . Sprinting to Blackheart, the closest member of my team, I charge headfirst into battle fuelled only by my desperation. I throw every attack I posses at our adversaries barely able to do more than scratch them as my comrade makes his escape. Games like these are centered around team play and encourage us to work as a whole, to risk yourself helping others. They see right through my plans as if I explained it to them in great detail. Sweat beads on my brows as they move towards my fleeing friend leaving me in the dust. I tear my eyes from the screen as Blackheart falls his health obliterated. It is my fault, he is my team member and I didn’t protect him. We have to do better if we have any hopes of beating these

    Growing up, I noticed a lot of discussion about financial problems between my parents. It’s not that we were becoming poor, it was because of our growing family needing more supplies. My mother just gave birth to my little brother when I started noticing the financial issues my family were facing. As a little girl, I do not know how our finances worked all I knew was many bills were due and I knew it because when I was a little girl I liked to practice reading and those bill statements were the papers that attracted my interest due to its colorful paper.…

    Downrange, they have seen shrapnel holes as big as their fist in the sides of some of the medevac helicopters. They have fallen down, gasping for breath, as they helplessly try to carry a man so badly bloodied you can’t recognize who he is. They have raided suspected insurgents houses at 2am, kicking in the door, sometimes that take a shotgun and blow the lock off. They can’t remember how many “bad guys” that have killed, but they can’t forget their first. They have looked into the dirty bearded face of man who just shot and wounded a soldier, and now throws his AK down and raises his hands above his head and yells in perfect English, “I surrender, please don’t kill me” . They have seen the angry faces of the local…

    Entry: We were on a mission today here's how it went “enemy contact, hostiles on my position.” I knew there were hundreds of them out there. All of our motion sensors were like radiation scanners in a nuclear fallout. Blue one was running faster and swifter than all of us even with the Mjolnir armor on, it weighed over 300 pounds. We jumped up onto the ridge shooting armor piercing rounds into the grunts and elites tearing through their armor and Into their skin. The screeches of their voices and the ground covered in there blue and purple blood. Rockets flew in from above as blue two shot them down. We then threw grenades into the crowd and jumped off the ridge. over the com (type of radio) I told red three to lay…

    Ma and pa were shouting at me. “Get inside now the black blizzard is coming!” I went inside, but I wanted to watch it. Ma and me a wet towel to cover my face with it. Then the wind was howling it broke the windows, but we covered them up it time so dirt wouldn’t come in the house. I looked outside and the only thing I saw was dirt from the black blizzard. After that “black blizzard” kicked up and in, the only thing I saw on the horizon was black from the dirt in the “black blizzard”. Then we had to move in the middle of the room. The dirt was now in the house a little bit. We curled up a little bit and held up my wet towel to my face really tight.…

    My body is under attack. An attack I am all too familiar with. It feels as if an explosive has detonated in my head. I am disoriented and struggling to get my thoughts together. The pain is intense and crippling. I tilt my head back, and rest it on the headboard hoping for relief. I shut my eyes, and gently place my hands on my temples. As I begin to massage my temples, the invader silently enters into my thoughts and begins to taunt me, “You deserve everything you get, he whispers”. “It doesn’t matter how you try to escape me, I will be here. I will be here today, tomorrow, and for the remainder of your life”. Trying to ignore the whisper, I grab two Advil off the nearby nightstand, and wash them down with a sip of coffee. I squeeze my eyes tight, and begin to feel tears burn the back of my eyelids. My thoughts begin to become tainted with feelings of despair, hopelessness and sorrow. I open my eyes, and standing within arm’s reach of me, is my ten year old son. I choke back my tears, force myself to smile and reach out for a hug.…

    The next day woke me by the sound of gun fires and our men yelling waking us up. We grabbed our gear and hid behind the rough hills as a shield. It started, as frightened as I already was my friend had just got killed by the blazing bomb. I didn’t know how to feel about it in this rush of survival, so I ran as the next bomb was coming my way. But what could I do about it? I have to protect myself as well. I didn’t put my life at stake I was forced like all the other soldiers. My life is at risk and if I survive I will go home with proud survival guilt. As I had just lost focus of what was happening because I was so shocked thinking this is what war really is; a gun manages to pass through my arm as if I’m not weak already. I fall down to the ground with the scent of dirt southing (soft rustling) through my nose. A blurred vision of my troops fighting was the only other sense apart from the sound of air raid sirens and drones. I can’t believe no one has noticed me, they probably have but don’t…

    This battlefield is nothing like a war-zone, but hell. Our New Allied’s tanks got sank and hundreds of soldiers died even before they cover themselves under the sand. I was shaking. Shaking like a dog that got terrified by the thunderstorm by the first time. I covered myself in the sand slowing crawling with my rifle. Even till now, my hands are still shaking, I hope someone can read my words if I die. Moreover, soldiers like us who got drafted while we were working in a factory were basically the ones who stood at the front row. Just getting off the swimming tanks, I saw my fellow colleagues floating on the ocean with their arms unattached to their bodies. We were taught to be cold blooded on the battlefield. However, at the moment when you see someone who you’ve been working with and living with died in front of you. There’s no way of not being traumatized. I saw several soldiers running towards the gunfires recklessly. At the moment I thought they were brave heroes. Nonetheless, they were trying to suicide even before the actual plan of this invasion starts. I held my cross on my neck. Blessing all these fellow soldiers rest in peace. I tried my best to cover myself under the sand. I know what Mom has always been telling me. God will guide you to the right place if you believe in him. And yes, that’s the reason why I’m still here writing this diary hiding under a whole bunch of unknown stuff that covers me up. To…

    There has been many cases in which I have helped an outsider feel welcome. One time in particular is when I played tag with this little boy at church since he was new and no one else played with him. Originally, I was outside eating candy and talking to my friends at church. I noticed that this little boy was standing all alone watching all the other little kids play without him. I thought that maybe he was upset so I went over to him and asked if he wanted the rest of my gummy worms. He seemed nervous at first, but eventually he started talking to me. I learned that he was five years old and he was visiting his grandparents for the weekend. His older brother was outside playing basketball with some of the other older boys at the church, and…

    The soldiers don’t seem to worry much as we then just stand waiting for them to take a move. This is a very scary moment for me and I all I could think about is if I were going to make it out here alive. They start to shoot as we take cover. They scream insults waiting for us to start shooting back at them. A Partisan stands up not thinking about his actions beforehand. He waits for the tall soldier to scream an insult at him as he points his gun at his head. Before the Partisan member could even shoot at the soldier, the other soldier was too quick for him and shot him right in the chest. This is the first time witnessing a death Aright in front of my own eyes. He fell to his back as his eyes opened widely and shut when he hit the floor. A puddle of blood formed around him when he hit the ground. That was a shocking moment for me. Before any other soldier tried to kill one of us, Ben stood up killing the soldiers all in a row. They all laid on the floor dead like the partisan that was shot in the chest.…

    The crack of gunshots, bombs were whistling past missing by inches, bullets were spraying over my head. Bodies were dropping around me. I stood, I fired. The line between life and death was blurred. The realisation of being where I was at the time never sank in. My face was wet, I couldn’t understand why or how. I struggled to see past the tears in my eyes. It struck me, I gasped for air. I was crying. I realised what I just saw. The man that had my words written in stone, I promised him that I would always be there. It was my brother lying there hit. I was on the ground screaming, blood weeping through my hands, I pushed the wound down, more blood pushed out. I felt his heart beat in my own hands. His chest had been blown open. I had my brother’s blood on my hands, I had the enemy’s blood sprayed on me. It was at this moment I realised there was no difference in colour. There was no real difference in the way we fought, the way we spoke, the way we lived. I was laying there bathed in bright red in the middle of the fighting field. My ears were ringing, everything stopped, and no one was firing. I looked around; I saw my own Comrades standing there firing, at what? Men that were just hiding in the shrub, they were after something, someone, but not to kill. They wanted to evade the war but thrived for the justice of their people. Oblivious to what they were after, I stood up ready to scream. But what? The only thing that set the line between us and ‘them’ was we spoke a different language. They would not understand a word I would say, they were merely a less developed race, and what were they now? ‘They’ were not firing, we were. I called my men off, I stood out from the refuge leaving the stream of vivid red. It was then when I felt the ache in my thigh, I was hit.…

    We were in the middle of the battle as the enemy attacked us. We laid in wait at the drawbridge for the attackers to barge in at any moment. I was in a fairly large castle at the time it had forty foot thick walls that were fifty two feet high. Around the top of the walls were ramparts that protected are archers. We even had a moat with a retractable bridge but sadly we had left it down. My castle is located in Dublin, Ireland and is one of the most magnificent castles ever built. It has around twenty towers along the walls, and outside the castle is a large hill with green grass and a tree line not far from the east side of the castle. The forest there offered a large lake which is where we got our water. Suddenly the noise of a boulder from a catapult hitting the gate broke me from my imagery then a second, and a third; “How many catapults are there?” I could smell the wood smoke coming from outside and taste the black smoke from the oil fires. I soon got up and reported to my Commanding Officer (CO) that the enemy might be trying to burn down the gate and it turns out they were. I hurried over to the door and could feel the heat rising from the other side. Now I was a Knight and I had power over my squad and the CO told us to stay at the gate, but we knew that the moment the whole gate caught on fire the enemy would punch a hole right to the other side. I ordered my archers to shoot at the guys with the battering ram, but unfortunately the enemies were underneath a tortoise which is a large triangle shaped covering on wheels which protects the soldiers underneath it. Next I heard a large crash and blacked out. When I woke up I was in chains in a dimly lit room, when from behind a bag comes over my head and I can’t see. I am moved to another dimly lit room and can barely see when my assailants remove the bag . I sat there thinking “Where am I?”. It turns out I had been placed in a dungeon and when…
