Strike face

Poppy Fields

I calmed my breath, looking down the black tube of the scope on my brother's Mosin nagant, I was waiting for them to give the go ahead to shoot the brightly painted steel target sitting out in the golden poppy field.

"Ok, you can fire at will"

After hearing him give me the go ahead I quickly pulled the trigger that resulted in a loud bang coming from the gun, shortly after that I heard the subtle ping from the lead round striking the steel target.

"Good shot buddy. but next time maybe don't pull so quickly, mind you at this distance any movement can change the outcome, but you still did good."

"Thanks." I chimed in as we stood up, the rifle in my hand and the spotters scope in his. Right now he and I were taking a break from the task of reloading ammo for the R.I.G, that's what we did, it was needed to supply the camps in the area with ammo. But they were kind enough to let us go out for the day because it was my birthday, and that finally ment I would get my first gun. In the family that's what we did, when you turn 13 you get your first gun that is truly yours, most of the time it was a small 9mm handgun, no more than that. My brother was lucky, he was supposed to get a P08 Luger, it was small and did the job, but because he was in the R.I.G they supplied him with a glock 17 Gen4, much better than the Luger, sadly I am not part of it officially.

"So buddy , are you ready to get your first gun?"He asked with a joyful face while he stuck his hands in his grey light jacket.

"Yeah, I am" I responded.

"ok, well then I guess here you go." When I turned around to see what he was holding I saw him holding something wrapped in brown paper. I took it and opened it where I was delighted to see the 4in barrel connected to the iconic togal action of a P08 Luger, I finished opening it up and just had the most shocked face ever."so i am guessing you like it?"

"y.. yeah it is amazing." I said while dropping the magazine out of it.

"ok, well then when we get home you might want to clean it, maybe we can go shoot it to th.."He never finished what he was saying as he looked up towards the home to see people running around with rifles and other guns, and one straight at us.

how do you like it, i know it aint perfect, but for my first time trying to wright a story i hope it looks good. =)
