A True Hero
Chapter 1(Recruitment)
It was back in 1939 august 30th a 28 year old man was down at the local pub depressed and lonely,his wife had left him and took his kids with her.Sitting there he decides to call for another drink then another man walks up and sits next to him and calls out "I'll have what he's having"Sitting there wandering who this man was he turns is head very slowly to the left and asks "May i ask who you are"The man replies saying "I'm probably just like you depressed,lonely and my wife has left me"'Yeah same here except I've also got kids,well since we are both sitting here depressed and lonely want to go out bowling or something make good use of this night while we still can sitting here and moping isn't gonna do anything"Whispered Barry,A couple of minutes they both get up and walk out of the bar walking past some soldiers not even noticing them.
It's the end of the night and Barry has just got home so he lays down on his bed and starts to doze off when the ground starts to shake.So he quickly jumps up off the bed and hides under the table thinking that it was an earthquake he then realizes that the shaking was going longer than an earthquake and it was shaking hard enough so he gets up and peeks his head out the of the window and notices that a huge amount of soldiers were marching past in lines of about eight or ten he couldn't tell and behind them heavy armoured vehicles and tanks,he quickly grabs his jacket and runs down stairs and stands outside and watches as the soldiers march past him and everybody else watching them march.A tall very buff man marches up to Barry and Starts to yell at him"What are you staring at Private""I'm not a private I'm not even in the army"Replied Barry."You are now"He says it quietly to Barry then he yells out to everyone crowded around him"We are getting every single man able to fight to join us at war,Because were heading into over near Germany in a couple of hours so pack your things and meet your new captain next to the light armoured vehicle at the end of the road".
Barry then turned around and jogged slowly up his stairs into his apartment,He then grabbed a suitcase from underneath his bed and put it on top of his bed walked over to his cupboard and grabbed all of his clothes out of the cupboard and shoved them in his bag.The Sergeant then marches into the room and tips the suitcase upside down and tips everything out onto the floor,shoves a carry bag at him and a uniform then yells at him"Only bring items your gonna need boy,There is even a chance you won't come back so don't even bother bringing clothes besides socks and jocks and the uniform i have just provided you"Barry replies yelling out "sir,yes,sir""That a way soldier"the Sergeant replies and marches out of the room.Five minutes later Barry marches out of his apartment in his uniform and his carry bag on his back marches down the street behind other men that were forced to go to war and men that joined on there on their own terms.Barry didn't even argue with the Sergeant about going like most men did because they wanted to stay with their families.A single tear then ran down Barry's eye while walking towards to truck,He stopped then turned stood there looking at the phone box for a while then walked over to it put in some change and rang his ex-wife and kids to tell them he was going to war but they didn't answer he then hung the phone up and started to stare at the ground while thinking.
The phone then rang he answered it thinking it was his ex-wife Jennifer but the lady asked for the Sergeant he handed the phone over and walked away.The reason his ex and kids didn't answer was because they were in their bomb shelter after been told to by the local news.Barry marched up to the truck thinking he wasn't loved by anyone he jumped in the back of the truck and just sat there didn't say a thing for the whole trip to the Army base while everyone was talking and getting to know one another.

It does have potential but one question; do you really think people are gonna be drawn to it. you need to maybe make your blog more relevant to them... things they can relate to. thats why i chose music...

But it's your blog. I'm not gonna tell you how to run it...

Continue the story. I'd like to see it 'get better' just like you said it would.
