The Encounter in Brazil
“We go in there, and shoot the Brazilians down one by one and the job is all done.” Zeldon smiled, listening to his fellow trooper explain to the group, his view of the mission.
“We are approximately ten km from the location,” yelled the pilot, struggling to explain details with the sound of the chopper in the background.
Zeldon peered down, revealing the forest which was filled with trees lined so accurately he considered abandoning his perspective of the Amazon forest being a natural wonder.
“Zeldon, join me, and your family is safe forever,” Zeldon could hear the voice whispering inside his head.
Zeldon reached for his wallet and stared at a picture of his wife and daughter. It was his daughter’s fifth birthday. The house was full of people; the cake was decorated with a picture of her imprinted into the cake, a gold coloured candle in the middle shaped into a 5. Her smile looks so innocent, and beside her stood his wife, who with her black silky hair, and gleaming blue eyes, looked beautiful always.
“Mayday! Mayday!” shouted the pilot as the helicopter went down.
“What’s happening?” asked Zeldon
“We’ve been hit by a Brazilian anti-aircraft missile,” answered Manly. He a calm and fit man and a member of the Special Ops
“Evacuate, Evacuate,” said the pilot.
“What about you?” asked Zeldon
“I’ll be fine. My life is this baby and I am not prepared to leave it. If it goes down, so will me,” said the pilot in a sad voice.
Zeldon hustled grabbing his M16 and parachute preparing for the leap. He took a moment to observe his location, above the dense forest, with a miniature building in the background, and jumped. He deployed his parachute, and glided through the trees, trying to get as close as he cou...

...eldon put his gun down. ‘Bang’ a bullet screamed past Zeldon and went right through Karov’s head, and from the shadow came Manly.
“I will rescue the president; you just take your family and go. There is a door that leads straight to the forest. Here’s the remote,” said Manly.
When Zeldon pressed the remote, instantly rays of sun light stroke the cell, and revealed various screens and gadgets hidden by the shadows. Among those machines was a helicopter. As Zeldon and his family flew out of the complex, there was an explosion. Tears ran down Zeldon’s face, but almost instantly after he smiled, hearing the sound of a chopper
3 days later
“Zeldon and Manly, will be receiving an honour medal for their brave efforts in Brazil, in rescuing the president,” said the speaker.
“Thank you Zeldon. Do you want to hang out more often,” said Manly.
“Sure,” replied Zeldon.
The author writes, “It was dangerous. The flash might be seen in the darkness, and there were enemies watching. He decided to take the risk” (10). The Sniper realises that what he is doing is risky, but he disregards the warning from his brain and continues on. The Sniper knows what the enemy looks for as he lights his cigarette anyway. The author says that “The sniper darted across the street. A machine gun tore up the ground around him with a hail of bullets, but he escaped” (14). There are people out there ready to shoot him but the Sniper decides to go out and see who the other soldier was. As bullets rain down on the Sniper, he courageously rushes on, even though his life is at risk. The Sniper’s bravery is exposed in his ability to stay calm and keep his composure until the job is
The sky, as far as Heller could see, was overwhelmed with coal-black explosions that violently jerked the ship in all directions. Out of sheer stupidity, the pilot panicked and sent the plane into a vertical dive. A deafening, paralyzing, horrifying dive which petrified Heller. The co-pilot wrestled the controls away from the pilot and sharply yanked up on them, pressing Heller into the cold metal floor, which kept him from falling to his death below. Regaining his sanity, the pilot rescued them just in time by seizing the controls back from the co-pilot, leveling the ship off ironically back in the middle of the buffeting layer of flak from which they had magnificently escaped only seconds
“I was not aware that he was either, Commander; however, the code does match the one he used back when he was with us.”
David drops his head down once again. He looks through his scope and sees the crosshairs slowly dropping down on Spitfire and slowly squeezes the trigger. Grrrrrrrrrrr! Bang!!!!!!! At first David didn't know what hit him harder, the crack of the Remington .308 or the deadly blow of Scar’s massive paw.
your life, we have another take off to make, I think I'll just fly all the way to New Orleans!!!" Trent hooked his belt, smiled, and said, "I
Adam said “We must go through the forest so everyone get your knife out.” Even though the knives will not do anything against the ghosts. “only plasma guns would work against the ghosts” Luke said “We have to find one first or take one” Eli said. Luckily there was three nearby soldiers holding plasma guns and plasma knives. They managed to sneak up on them and knocked them out with a rock. Then Adam said “This person has a key for something,” “But why?” Eli said “we should take the key with us just in case.” But little did they know that key might just save their life and almost end
“You’re with me now, Rion,” said Percival, carrying the child, “and it’ll be all right.”
A bullet for land itself against the parapet of the roof. Fear because he got shot at.
After that he heard someone else yell, ‘Hey, the guys in the middle are running!’ Then suddenly the airship made a very sharp downward motion above him. “It was coming down, and I started to run. I ran about 20 yards, and then heard this eerie sound of metal crunching against the ground. I stopped and turned around.” He witnessed the wreckage of the framework and people trying to escape. He saw them stumbling, falling, and burning. “It was a horrible sight. We stood for a moment and then we rushed back toward the flames, but what could you do? I tried to help, but you couldn’t get that close because of the billowing
He turned his head away unsuspecting that the time of his demise was near. I raised my gun up, looked through the scope, put the dot on where his vitals should be, and using great effort not to let the shakes take over and alter my shot, I squeezed the trigger. I watched the bright yellow sparks fly from my barrel as the black powder expelled the lump of lead flying straight into his chest. As he staggered away in shock from the events that occurred in what felt like a fraction of a second I kept a close eye on him to know where to retrieve his dead
“Now is the time for this good man to come to the aid of My Country”
The Sniper exhibits qualities that are both experienced and amateur. O’Flaherty describes the Sniper as “a man who is used to looking at death”, from which we can infer that the sniper has seen many deaths, since a person who is exposed frequently to death gradually grows senseless to it. In the passage, “There was a flash and a bullet whizzed over his head. He dropped immediately.”, we can tell from the “dropped immediately” that the sniper has exceedingly quick reflexes, something usually apparent in those who are experienced in the techniques of war.
I asked myself. Did the pilot lose control or something? I looked at Cory again. He was on his phone, probably with the police, asking what was going on. They were telling him to remain calm and that’s when he lost it. “. . . Calm? Remain calm? There is a plane in the side of the building and you’re asking me to be calm? Uh-huh. Okay. Goodbye now.” He hung up. He looked at me, straight in the face, with a frantic look in his eyes. “I think we’re being attack Jane,” he said. And that’s when I got scared. .
...s there is an American base 40 klics from here,” I yelled to make sure he heard me.
“Hurry up, we almost arrive our base camp! Once we climb over this mountain, we will be able to see the camp.”
