The Will To Survive
#WritcoStoryPrompt17
The last bullet left the muzzle of his rifle with a deafening bang. It took with him all his hopes of survival.
He reached for the sharp knife held at his bootstrap. He wasn't going out without a fight!
With adrenaline rushing through his veins, he grasped the knife tightly, his knuckles turning white with determination.
The enemy was closing in, their shouts echoing through the dense forest. He knew he had only moments before they would be upon him.
As he crouched behind the cover of a fallen tree, his mind raced, searching for a strategy. The odds were stacked against him, but he refused to surrender.
And so he prayed a silent prayer on his lips, he braced himself for the inevitable confrontation.
Suddenly, the underbrush rustled nearby, signaling the approach of his enemies. His heart pounded in his chest as he prepared to face them head-on.
And with one swift movement, he leaped from his hiding spot, brandishing the knife with fierce determination.
The ensuing clash was fierce and chaotic, each movement fueled by desperation and survival instinct. But despite his brave efforts, he soon found himself outnumbered and overpowered.
As the enemy closed in around him, he fought with every ounce of strength he had left. But in the end, it was not enough. Overwhelmed by the sheer force of their assault, he fell to the ground, his vision swimming as darkness enveloped him.
And as he lay there, battered and bruised, he knew that his fight was over. But even in defeat, he found solace in the knowledge that he had faced his fate with courage and defiance until the very end. And though his body may have been broken, his spirit remained unbroken, a testament to the courageous human will to survive.
