Private Ollie Chapter 5

Roaring he soared forward knife in his hand from the German uniform, Private Ollie slashed down and drew first blood from the beast. But what was it? No hair… two legs… big gigantic fangs blood stained from many past battles or from the size of it quick “feedings” on other animals smaller than itself. Freakishly large eyebrows…blue lips… blood shot eyes from staying awake a few too many nights fearing for its life for no matter how large an animal a quick cut to the neck or bite in this instance can end anyone. All his thoughts expressed in a jumble of seconds and in that short time it or whatever it is had tried to strike two crushing blows but somehow Private jumped back in time! Two more and ‘Ollie realized that there was no chance that hand to hand combat could work against this thing. Not turning his back he stepped lightly back and on the fourth step he pulled out his pistol but TRIPPED! Lying on his back the Beast took advantage of his misfortune and bounded forward landing squarely on his chest. Beating its chest the Beast pulled his arm back, deciding rush was not needed for his prey had no chance of escape but how wrong was he… "Remember, remember…, remember when you’re tryin’ to hold your own don’t be brute!” his dad had said, “use speed, and trickery! The army will give as much help as it can into building up muscles but never count on it. Always have a trick…” and have a trick he did! Wriggling his arm the small knife he had found as a builders tool he had slid into his arm as a last resort sure came in handy now! Jerking upward the knife plunged into his neck and the jugular vein burst open in a spray of blood. Glassy eyed the Beast/Thing fell over in a heap next to him. Breathing heavily he shimmied over and away from the thing back to the wall of the alley and continued sliding until he was back to his resting place before the beast was seen. This time sleep came not out of his volition but out of sympathy for the adrenaline in his body finally failed and sleep came blissfully.

Private Ollie Chapter 4

He planned as acting as a saboteur on the inside of the German army, or at least try to be one with out being repatriated first. But as he turned and stared at the grotesque thing in the back of the alley his mind completely shut down except to a lethargic numbness that was impending doom. The first thought out of that state was not of saving his own life but of livid anger towards this, this… THING. Blocking his path, what right does this, this… BEAST, have to stop him from trying to take down the German army? And rapt attention on the problem but all the while overcast plaintively by fear afterwards. No! Whether anyone grieves me posthumous will be because I’m a HERO! Not dragged down and destroyed in the back of an alley! No, he had the ability to be volatile! But staring into those hypnotizing eyes that thought rescinded and a state of sedated fear and incongruous being surrounded Private Ollie’s mind. Being devoid of responsibilities sounded really good right now. “NO!” he roared! Tenacity won out and Private Ollie leapt at the beast.
