The harsh realities of war from "summary" of Complete Short Stories Of Ernest Hemingway by Ernest Hemingway
The soldiers were tired. They had been fighting for days, barely sleeping, barely eating. The constant sound of gunfire filled their ears, making it impossible to think clearly. They knew they were in a dangerous situation, but they had no choice but to keep moving forward. The young soldier looked around at his comrades. Some had been wounded, others killed. The reality of war hit him hard. He had thought he was prepared for the harshness of battle, but nothing could have prepared him for the devastation he witnessed. As they trudged through the muddy battlefield, the soldier couldn't help but think about the futility of it all. What were they fighting for? Was it worth risking their lives for a cause they hardly understood? The smell of death hung heavy in the air. The soldier tried to ignore it, but it was impossible. The stench of blood and decay followed them wherever they went. It was a constant reminder of the harsh realities of war. At night, when they finally had a moment of respite, the soldier lay awake, staring at the stars above. He wondered how many others had looked up at the same sky, feeling the same sense of despair and hopelessness. The next morning, they were ordered to advance. The soldier knew what that meant. More fighting, more death. He felt a sense of dread wash over him. He didn't know how much more he could take. But he had no choice. He had to keep moving forward, no matter the cost. In war, there was no room for hesitation or doubt. Only survival.
