Motorcycle Messenger
I was given a waiver for WWII draft but I wanted to serve so I enlisted, I was a motorcycle messenger carrying messages to the front lines, I was one of the soldiers that found 1 of the 3 concentration camps and freed the prisoners women, men and children, I will never forget the smell of burning flesh that was from the piles of burnt bodies. I came across a farmhouse and barn, tired and hungry riding for 2days i take cover in the barn I took my motorcycle covered it with hay and before I knew it a young man with a rifle took a shot at me I fired back and hit him just then I heard a scream it was the mother she had her daughter about 7 next to her with a gun to the girls head I said no I won't hurt you, she pulled the trigger and then shot herself, thats what haunts me every night.
