A game, that's what they sinabi this was but this is no ordinary game, this is a game of life and death. I was another tricked and lied to sa pamamagitan ng Britain's propaganda and now here I stand ready to go over the tuktok and yet again, let the games begin.
The whistle sounded and the games began a hundred men clambering over the tuktok screaming and shouting, mga baril in hand, charging toward the enemy, charging towards death.
I ran through the mud that felt like quicksand, bullets whizzed past my head, the screams of pain and anguish deafened me until a bomb broke through the sound and I was swallowed sa pamamagitan ng a black void.
The peaceful quiet of the void was shattered sa pamamagitan ng a distant noise, it grew, louder and louder, nearer and nearer until I recognized the sound, a voice shouting, shouting a name, a familiar name, my name.
My eyes opened blurred but soon focusing on the devastation around me, the scene of despair as men ran back to the trench. I was pulled to my aching feet and told to run and I did. Soon I was in the adequate safety of the trench with far less men than what we had started with. Another game had ended but it certainly wouldn't be the last.
