All the Light we Cannot See

Chapter 11

Everything was blurry, his ears were ringing as fire lit up around the forest. Max slowly got up as he looked around, he quickly spotted Andrew trapped under a small tree. “Andrew!” Max cried as he quickly rushed to him. Blood came oozing from both of the Privates cuts as Max struggled to push over the tree. “Don’t worry, I’m still here..” Andrew said weakly. “Stay here, I’ll go look for the others.” Max said as he searched around.

There was nothing but destruction. Perhaps the others left, or worst of all… they’re gone. Max saw his Lance-Corporals helmet on the ground, he quickly picked it up and put it in his bag. “Andrew! Come on, we don’t know if that idiot, whatever that thing is, will be coming back!” Max said as he picked up Andrew. He already knew which way was the trench as he set out. “Here.. take my pistol.” Andrew said as he took out his rifle.

Max grabbed it as he scanned around the area. Soon he set out for the trench. It felt like days as Max walked through the hot and humid sun, but really it was only a few hours. He stopped by a river to refill his canteen then started walking again. Soon he arrived at the trench. “Nemtsy! Eto nemtsy!” One of the Soviet in the trench shouted. “No! Wait! It’s us, the Americans!” Max shouted as he dropped his pistol.

The Soviet commander came out of the trench and approached Max and Andrew. “What happened to you two? Were you sent back?” “The plane that was supposed to pick us up was destroyed with the others, is Jackson and Jason here?” Max asked as he looked around. The Soviet commander shocked his head no. “We heard the explosion but we doubt it was from you guys. Get him to the medic tent.” The Soviet commander said as he turned around.

As he walked through the trenches everyone stared at him. It was sad and weird to see only two American soldiers with one injured. But Max guessed it was lucky for the Soviets to stay behind or else they could have died as well. The medics there were no longer Americans, but Soviets. Max set Andrew on a bench as the medic came over to him. He gestured to Max to go.

It was weird to be only around Soviets. Max sat down in his spot in the first trench. He just stared down as the others looked at him. “You ok there bud?” One of the Soviet soldiers from the night ago said. Max just nodded. “NEIN…” Max muttered. The Soviet soldier seemed to hear him. “You're German aren’t you?” He said. Max was surprised that he noticed, no one from his company ever noticed he was German besides Andrew. The day was already becoming night as Max looked at the sky. “Go sleep. There’s a big day tomorrow.” He said.

Soon Max dozed off.
