A story

original thread ↗

Okay i know it has been a long time since i posted here but I really want to post this. It is a Warhammer 40k story from the perspective of one of the models in one of the units in my army. I wrote this a while back on the Heresy Online forums and got some pretty positive feedback so I hope you enjoy!

 I looked up. I could see the sun. It was bright and warm on my scarred face. I looked back down. Their they were. Lined up, ready to join the fray. I didn't fear death. I feared life. I looked at my watch. Seven forty five PM. I heard a scream and turned. Pvt. Johnson's head had just become a puddle of pus and brain matter. How did I remember his name, I had only met him once? Pain. I looked down at my stomach. They're was blood everywhere. Had I been shot? I didn't feel it when it happened. I saw that I was missing a leg. I was dying. I noticed that one other Guardsman and I were alone their, hiding behind the broken wall. My entire squad had been obliterated, and more guardsman were coming. The medic would not arrive soon. A Guardsman ran up and started to apply pressure to my stomach. I wondered what my mother and father would say when they got the letter. I picked up my laspistol, it was heavy in the palm of my hand. I pulled the trigger.

And here's another:

 
My arm hurt. The freezing cold wind on my face made it worse. I peeked through the hole in the wall. Their must have been at least 20 Orks inside the Warehouse alone. I looked behind me. Their was just one other scout. He looked scared. I recognized his face. I nodded to him, and he nodded back. I knew we would not survive. I looked down. My arm was still bleeding. I noticed that I had one last grenade left. I tried to use my vox. It was broken. I checked my magazines. I had four of them left, two of which were to damaged to use. I reloaded my pistol. I nodded at him again. He crawled towards me. We prayed our last prayer to the God Emperor. He looked at me. Tears were coming from his eyes. We stood up. I counted to three, took out my grenade, and we charged into the horde.
