MY LAST TWO MONTHS

Is my time up? Why me, why now. It’s all to much for my old heart to handle. This is the hardest part of my life. I’m all alone and I only have two months to live. I went to my lawyer and told him the news. I asked for my bucket list. I looked long and hard at that list. The lawyer gave me a visa with all of my money on it. I decided to put my house on the market. The next day I started to live and do my bucket list. The first thing I wanted to do was go to Paris, France. I went to the airport, bought a ticket and off I went. Paris was as beautiful as a night sky filled with stars, well worth waiting for. After a week or two, I decided to leave Paris and go to Rome. At Rome I through a coin in the Trevi Fountain and wished for 1 more month. Well time flies when your having fun. In Rome it felt like two days when it was actually two weeks. I wanted to go home now. But instead of going in a normal plane I went in a skydiving plane. I screamed with laughter. I landed with a hard thud. When I got home I toke the bus to Texas. It stopped by a bridge. It was a bungy jump bridge. I wanted to have a go. I jumped, I got dunked in the clear, blue water below. That night, that dark night. I stayed at home. in my dream there was a strange light. After it had gone I never woke up again.

THE ATOMIC BOMB TESTED, SHOULDN'T BE ALOUD!!!

It all started with a big mushroom shape cloud. Then BOOM the rush of the bang could deafen the people around.

Mankind invented these horrible devices and we now have enough of them to blow up the whole world 100 times. These horrible weapons were designed to eliminate enemy, unfortunally they do more than that. I think you had a good idea in beginning your explanation, however you need to include more details to back up you reasons.

If you get struck by the bomb there is a rare chance that you will survive. The weapons are very destructive and if there is a world war III after the war there would be no world. People don't understand what harm these weapons can do to the land and people. The bombs can kill from babies to senior citizens. The bombs show no mercy, they will kill and destroy what ever gets in their way. Great description, you need to continue explaining maybe, positive towards nuclear science or negative effects of how they may destroy.


 * THE BATTLE OF** LIFE **AND** DEATH **.**

I am a boy, who's parents have been taken away from me and my two sisters. I live in Afghanistan. When I was eight years old I was told I had to fight for my country. I will be the youngest there.


 * I am in the USA military. I am told I have to go to Pakistan to battle against the Afghanistan military unit.**

It has been a long and hard two months. I am ready, but unexperienced, but ready to fight the enemy.

﻿ ﻿ **The squad is saying goodbye to their loved ones, everyone has tears flooding down their faces. Some of these men may never see their families again. That thought hits me the most.**

I remember the time when I had to take in the thought of me taking care of my two sisters. I had to strife for food, water and shelter. I can see the people with families to say goodbye to... maybe forever.

﻿ **We are ready to head out to the battle field. Everyone is anxious and excited. The new boys aren't coping very well about the fighting. Situation, but they know they have to do it.**

We are going out. We are at the battle field not knowing when the enemy will show up. We are setting up our battle stations to surprise attack the enemy. The gun I'm carrying is very heavy. I am told not to fire only if I have to.


 * We are at the battle field. it is quite, to quite for my liking. We have sent a tank around the side of the building we are sitting right in front of. BANG BANG!!! We heard the tank take it's first fire. We don't know if it's a false alarm or if the war has started.**



 = ﻿ ﻿PIKE RIVER MINE STORY =

It was early hours of a Saturday morning. Pike River Mine workers have come to work like any other
===morning... or they thought! A worker went into the mine, late for his shift. As he continued down he could smell a gas in the air, he felt pressurized air on his face. Then a loud bang followed. As the explosion was blowing the miner was blown to the floor and knocked unconscious against the wall. He started to walk, still light headed, he got 15 meters closer to the exit but couldn't walk no more. When he woke up again he was in a rushing ambulance to the hospital. His work mate was sitting next to him, he asked what happended but the mate just sat in silence. The medic came and started to examine him but said nothing. All he remembers was the rush of air then he's in the ambulance. Me... I'm the guy who pulled him out. All I found was him, I knew that there was still people in there. He got to the hospital. He had had two showers but could still taste and smell the smoke that was in his lungs. As I got home to my family all I could think about was the other miners, trapped in the cold, dark, dusty mine... ===
