RE: @Steemitcentral FLASH FICTION CONTEST Week #4

in #contest6 years ago

The village was awoken by the loud blasts of cannon fire. Hundreds of villagers rushed out of their huts, clutching their children and running to the forest for cover. They watched as bombs fell from the sky uprooting trees and destroying farms. Then there was quiet again before the helicopters came.

Ropes brought soldiers from the helicopters; each armed to the teeth. They began to shoot at everyone and anyone. People ran farther into the forest but the soldiers gave chase. They killed and maimed all they could. Suddenly a large siren rang out and they withdrew to their aircraft which flew off without a glitch.

No one knows why they attacked the village. All we heard was that they were "unknown soldiers".
