Normandy Beach: A Short Story

World War 2 had been raging for decades. Many soldiers had given their lives to destroy the evil that was the axis powers. Mad men like Hitler and Mussolini had been on a power hungry killing spree commanding their armies to destroy and conquer anyone and anything in their sight. But now all of that will change because of the storming of Normandy beach. Lucky Luciano was a soldier riding in a boat towards the beach littered with Nazi soldiers and gunfire. He steeled his nerves and thought to himself this is it lucky its do or die time. Grabbing his gun, he shook hands with the rest of his platoon mates saying good luck and see you on the other side to everyone he saw. With the somber mood and a look of determination the door swung open and

All his sense was filled with the smell of burning flesh and hair, and the sounds of terrified screams and gunfire. Firing at any foe he saw Lucky rushed around the beach working to survive. He was about to be punctured several times with enemy fire he saw a crevice and crawled into it. He slowly worked his way into the crevice and noticed as he was completely through the opening closed. Now all alone stuck in the cave Lucky began to explore. Lucky worked his way through the cave with no light besides that have of his lucky cigar lighter.

Shrek began to speak but in the corner of his eye he sees Lucky’s gun and became uncontrollably angry. “STAND DOWN YEE FILTHY BRAT” Shrek yelled. He grabbed Lucky’s gun and snapped it in two with his mighty ogre strength. “IT BE YOUR KIND WHO KILLED MY FAMILY” Shrek screamed even louder. “YOUR KIND INVADED MY SWAMP, PILLAGED MY HOUSE, RAZED MY FARM, AND KILLED ME DONKAY, AND FOR THAT YOU WILL PAY.” Shrek suddenly rushes towards Lucky and grabs him by the neck. Lucky kept tapping on the muscled green fore arm and suddenly let out “Shrek please, I have not done anything of the sort.” Lucky continued to plead “Please I mustn’t die my brethren need me much like your family needed you.” Shrek’s grip loosened, and Lucky fell to the floor. Lucky pushed himself up and began to explain his name and situation to Shrek. “Hello o’ mighty Shrek, my name is Lucky, and I need your help.” “The world is in a war right now and your strength might be the one thing that could bring peace to the earth.” Shrek seemed intrigued,
