Battlefield Descriptions By Year 7 pupils
The explosions rang deafeningly in the distance. Screams of men on the battlefield hung in the air like a cloud. The man’s knees were shuddering, his heart was pounding against his chest as his legs powered through the grassland like a cheetah. Running for his life, bullets bolted past his face with the intention to kill. Diving into the grass, he lay in as much cover as he could muster while the battle raged endlessly around him. Attempting to crawl away from the beastly battlefield, an enemy soldier fired a bullet directly towards his open back, ready to kill him… Kit D. Deep, fiery red clouds filled the sky with flickering flames and billowing smoke. Like a dragon, the cloud reared up and flames exploded from its jaws as its monstrous roar echoed around the vast landscape. The thick stench of smoke filled the air with horrifying gases that made your nostrils tingle and froth. All withered, decayed, and formed from ash, the tank spouted flames that licked and lashed, covering itself in a large red blanket, all tucked up and warm. Deep grey clouds filled the sky with dread and fright: rhinos, ready to charge. Billy H. I felt the cool earth pressing into my cheek. I tucked my knees hard into my chest, so hard that I thought my ribs may shatter. All I heard was the ringing in my head and the sound of my heart slamming itself into the walls that have confined it all these years. A prisoner. Like me, like you, we are all prisoners to the futility and pain that comes with war. And what is life but a war? All I had was my battered body and the sound of my desperate, prisoner heart. Naomie P. As groups of soldiers charged across the vast field, dusty green swaying grass attacked them. Big flashes of a fiery ombre flew up and into the atmosphere; as soldiers stumbled back, the flowing snaky smoke flew across and into the air. Screams and shouting could be heard, making the army more nervous, and the sky became more ominous by the minute. As some soldiers made their way around the explosion, some fled, trying to escape the disaster. Maya S.
