Dear Curious Unknown Child,
This war is horrifying. Its manslaughter. It is almost impossible to live in all this fighting for power. It is like I'm dead, yet still alive. I live in constant fear that this could be my last day. If you stop for even less than a second, a millisecond, you will be shot or are blown up.
If it is snowing, raining, scorching hot, or any kind of weather you have to fight. If you are 16 years or older, you are forced to join the army. Some kids, like me, lied about our age so we could help our country. Now I regret my choice.
Sometimes you can’t tell if you are with your friends or my enemies. I hope you will get the freedom I am fighting for. I hope you will be able to do what you want (unless it is bad or you aren’t allowed to). I want you to be able to travel anywhere you want. I want you to be free because I don’t want you stuck in a muddy trench with bombs bursting in air like me.
I just hope the war will finish. I want to see my family. I need them. I can’t live like this forever. I hope this is the war to end all wars.
Sincerely,
The Hopeful Unknown Soldier
