Creative Writing – Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill went up a hill. Little did they now they know they were going straight into mortar fire. Fortunately they had been wearing flak jackets so although they were blown back to the bottom of the hill nearly unconscious, the shrapnel had not penetrated them. Jack and Jill would live on. That day the ocean bled fire and the land was ripped away from underneath many a soldier’s feet. It was World War 2, and the Japanese military was being pushed back by U.S. troops, but the death toll was constant if this continued, there wouldn’t be any troops left in a year, this had to be dealt with quickly. Jack and Jill returned home as veterans, sister and brother finally splitting paths. Jack decided to continue working in the government on the homeland. Jill became a full-time protestor and traveled with a commune. Jack and Jill had become Jack or Jill.
