So yeah, this is just something I wrote. No real meaning, just enjoy. or hate it if you like.
"Hey, hey John, get up. Captain says we have to move out" Lionel Hoffman's voice was unmistakable, especially when he was getting you up. Though Lionel was only 5'10, and frail looking, he could still fight.
"Alright, alright," John said as he slowly got up out of his bunk. John Quarrie was a big guy at 6'3 at 220 lbs. and always up for a fight. Despite being the sergeant he always was woken up, rather than him waking someone else up. John and his buddies never seemed to care, probably because it didn't matter so long as he fought well.
It was 6 A.M. according to his clock. Bright and early, at least for a city civilian. For men like John and most farmers, it was sleeping in.
"Move, Li, I got to get to Captain Delany, see what he wants." John said
"Uh, sarge, wouldn't you want put some pants on before doing that?" Lionel replied
"right." John said, as he turned to get on his pants and shirt.
"So what do think he wants us to do, John?"
"No idea. Oh, and thanks."
"Welcome"
There was something about the smell of a camp in the morning that always appealed to John. He always knew it smelt bad, from the gunpowder and the unwashed men and their many stenches, but he liked that. He always assumed it was from the fact that it reminded him of the many smells of Tennessee, thought even he wasn't sure. A few men greeted him as he trudged along the path to Delany's makeshift Command Post, and every time he nodded or gave a small salute. After arriving he walked in the door without bothering to knock.
"Hello, Quarrie" Cpt. Delany said.
"Morning, captain. Now ,what did you need me for?"
"Ah, always your nature to get to the point, eh? Now, we have Dourboug surrounded, and we have to attack. 3rd company is attacking, and that includes you. So you're attacking at 6:30. Hopefully we'll have an element of surprise. Your squad has a special mission."
"Oh? And what's that?"
"Your squad has to attack the spotting tower. It's wrecking our aircraft, giving the Kraut flak emplacements accuracy. Understand?"
"Yessir, but are we attacking the town too?"
"The courthouse has 10 stories, and they're using it as the spotting tower. Guess where it is."
well, that's all for today. I aimed for this to be a one writing thing but, w/e
