Why did it happen?

I was told some of the story and saw the rest. It is a shocking story and no-one would believe that all bad luck was stuck on one person. This person’s name is Billy. It all started off in a vegetable store, his mother’s vegetable store. He was in the stock room with his mother when he suddenly thought to himself “I am bored of living the same day over and over.” He was thinking about it for a while when he decided to say something to his mother. “Mother,” he said nervously “I um, well I am bored of living the same day over and over again, I want to go on an adventure and have fun.” His mother stared at him for a while. “So... so what you are saying is, you’re bored!” She said this in a shocked voice. “Yes,” He said more confidently. “That’s right, I wanna have fun. When I am at school with my friends all they’re talking about is how they went to the beach together or how they went for a picnic in the woods as a FAMILY.” He was almost shouting the word family. “Maybe you’re right. I have been making you spend all your spare time in the shop... Right you can get on the next boat to China, which is where your father lives. You leave tomorrow.” She sounded happy but also had a sad feel to her voice. “Mum...um thanks, thanks a lot.

 

Well it was settled. The next day he got on the boat to China with a big smile on his face and waved a big goodbye to his mother. The boat was cram packed with people. “Well I’m doing it.” He thought to himself. He sat down and began to relax. A few minutes later he was asleep.

He was a few hours away when a boy about his age came over and said “Are you ready to do this?” Billy looked confused. Then he said “Am I ready to do what?” The boy looked confused as well. “You know, go off to war well first the training camp, but properly war next. Most people get in. ‘ang on a minute where did you think this boat is going” There was a silence. Then Billy said “China, China to see my dad.”

About two hours later Billy arrived in France and got the train to a field that had little wooden cabin’s spread out across the field. He was given a piece of paper with cabin 13.Unpack and go to main hall at 1600 hours written on it. Well that told him what to do. For now. The train stopped and the sergeant manger came in and said “Get your things and get off.” Billy grabbed his bags and got off the train. The boy that had talked to Billy on the boat came over to Billy “I am afraid we didn’t have a chance to introduce ourselves. My name is Jake who are you?”He asked this in a kind and gentle voice. “I’m Billy nice to meet you Jake.” “What cabin are you in?”Jake asked. “Cabin 13.”Billy said. “Me to, cool.” Jake said happily. The two of them went off into their cabin and started to unpack.

 

The two friends arrived in the main hall just in time to find out what they were going to be doing for the next seven weeks. They had loads of things to do. There was an obstacle course, a running track, geography and after all that a test of what they were doing and of where they were doing it. Billy was not looking forward to this but knew he had to do it, what was he thinking?

It had been six weeks since Billy had started camp and he only had a week left to practise and get ready for war. The sergeant manager came and told Billy and Jake that they were both going to go to war. Well now he knew for definite that he was going to war but he was going with his best friend.

Well it was the day of the travel off to war. He was ready. They got on the boat and travelled to Afghanistan. The war was beginning. On the boat all he could smell was fish and sea water. He didn’t like the food or water. The water was way to salty and the food was slimy!
