Based On A True Story
D-Day,0600,Omaha beach,The Start of Our Story
The boats churned threw the water, the rainwas falling lightly. He could not have imagined anything worse. He was a boy of 17, underaged for the Army, right now he felt as if he was in the navy. His name was Jack Roger. He was an tall boy volunterring in the Army. They had to stand in neat rows in the boats, but uncomfortable, plus it was flat, so he was going to be sick. jack heard someone yelling, looking around jack couldn't see anyone. He then looked behind him and saw the boatsman yelling at there officer.
"WE ARE ABOUT TO COME UNDER FIRE!" the boatsman yelled, the officer nodded, he then looked around, the officer started walking, he would stop at every man and put space between him and the man next to him. When he got up to Jack, he had to ask something,
"Sir! Why are you spacing us?" Jack yelled, the officer looked up,
"You'll find out soon!" he screamed back, then the Officer walked back to the boatsmen,
"Ok, today you will face more then you can handle, but whatever you do is helping America,Helping our Allies! Helping the world! You will go down in history!" he yelled, one soldier looked around,
"I dont care about history right now sir, I just care about getting off this stupid boat!" he yelled. Jack heard something like a bang, this was Jacks first time in combat. Everyone lauged at the Soldiers remark and then looked back at the boat's door, more of a pieace of metal which goes down, jack thought. He leaned to talk to the guy next to him, but he vomited just then.
"GET DOWN FROM THERE PRIVATE MCREE!!!" svramed the officer, Jack whipped around to look, a soldier, supposedly private Mcree, was pushing himself up the boat to look at the Beach. But he fell back at the officers words. Jack looked at Mcree, he looked very pale, not from the boat by the looks of it. Mcree saw Jack looking, he leaned forward to talk to him,
"Whats up?" Jack asked,
"bodies....massacre...boats..." Mcree moaned, Jack looked at him with an worried expersion. Something hit the ground nearby and slammed Jack into the boats side, the officer and Boatsman looked at eachother expectantly. Jack got up and looked forward, no worries. but once again it happened and he was slammed into the side, this time it was louder. One soldier was doing what Mcree did, but it was not Mcree,
"HOW MANY TIMES DO-" the officer was cut short when the soldier was flung back, the officer looked at him for a while.
"It starts" the officer muttered,
"What starts sir?" a nearby soldier asked, the officer shook his head. Jack leaned back to the boatsman,
"What starts?" Jack asked the boatman,
"Well they estimated the casulties for today, there is about 6000 expected" the boatman moaned. Jack turned even paler as he was once again throw, this time a thud was heard, then an disant echo of something. I will update it later

Continued from 1st part
More thuds were heard in the background, now a type of rattiling could be heard, the boat moved even faster as they started to get further in. Bullets were bouncing off the boat, all looked sick. the momet was on them. Then..Silence. And then the loudest noise Jack had ever heard erupted, as i in his head. Jack could hear the water being ripped apart by bullets,Shells and Mortar rounds. An twing sort of sound came through the boat. One guy was flung back, the wounds so gruesome some vomited. Legs were shot off, water came into the boat. Bit turned into blood almost instantly. Jack ducked down. He looked up, Flashes were seen in the air as bullets flew over him. Jack was flung back into the water as they hit something,
"WE"VE HIT AN TRAP!" yelled the boatmen, they were stuck,
"I HAVE TO LET YOU OUT HERE!" the boatsmen continued, the officer looked furious,
"WE'RE AT LEAST 30 METERS FROM THE SHORELINE!" our officer screamed back.
"WELL UNLESS YOU CAN FLY, WHIC-" the boatsmen was shoot in the head, flinging him back, an soldier jumped up to the boats controls and opened the door.... an machine gun fired straight into the boat, all at the front dead intantly, Jack got up and ran into the waves, he got rid of his pack and ran for it, Jack dived under water to get to shore faster, but to his horror something even more ghastly was under the water. Thusands of bodies, from the first group, all with open eyes, floating around. The sea was shallow because of these bodies, there was at least 400 of them. And at the time even more bodies were floating down to join there comrades...next update later.
