"Took you long enough Ivy," My brother said with a smirk as I walked by. What a jerk, I thought to myself. He was always seen as the nice guy to my grandma. I don 't know how he

“Everywhere the sounds of explosions roared. IEDs, we found E.O.D., who was with us quickly disposed of them. Headquarters ordered us to move up the side of a hill when all hell broke loose. Gunfire crackled around us. Ping, Ping, Ping, thud, and then the whine of ricochets left us no time to properly put in our ear defenders. A few of us often left them out for when we talked together. In the fight, E.O.D. took up a rearguard action as we advanced up the hill. Shrapnel from rocks struck one of
