The great war of water
Last letter by General Aaron Gustav
My time on Earth is close to ending. The war I was fighting is now over. I want to know whether he is alive. If he is still alive then I can still expect humanity to prevail. If he is not everything might be coming to an end. These last few breaths are my only hope of seeing my world peacefully again. That beautiful blue sky and that calming green of the trees that are swaying with the air. The immense weight of responsiblity i felt during the war is now fading. I am gonna retire into the deep dark ditch of death now. Yet, a few questions still linger in my head. Did I do a good job? Did I save everyone inside the country who were waiting for the war to conclude? Will my country fall into the hands of those evil bustards? Hopefully not. The most important question i have though is will they remember me even after i am dead? Was I a good father and a husband? Sorry darlings if I was not. I am loosing my consciousness. Guess this was it for me. I love you my son/daughter and my beautiful and adorable wife. I love my country and I am proud of myself for fighting till the last but I hope i didnt abondon you guys. Trust me, i want to see you grow my child but i cannot. Baby, dad is dead but not gone. Be brave and strong for daddy.
Today
"The letter you are now seeing on the screen is one of the many letters we received on the battlefield during the great war of water. A lot of soldiers from our beloved nation died to protect the nation from foreign intrusion due to lack of natural resources providing fresh water. From what we have observed, not only this but a lot of letters have one thing in common. Most of the soldiers do not fear dying. They are Brave and do not fear the untolerable pain of a bullet being pierced in their body and a bomb taking their hands or legs and keeping them barely alive but they fear one thing. They fear not being remembered. Why? That would be up for discussion in the next class and everyone is free to leave. Thank you." I said finishing my lecture. I think I did a good job today. From what you've read up until now, you've probably already understood that I am a professor. I teach modern history and like to add a bit of a psychological aspect to it. It adds to the meaning of history. The great war of water was what I was teaching today. That war was the worst for the nation but even more for me on a personal level. The person I was talking about today is sorry was my father. That is right General Aaron Gustav was my father. My full name is Christopher Aaron Gustav. I love my father but I haven't even seen him so it didnt hurt me a lot. His death impacted my mom the most. Her health kept deteriorating and she developed acute depression and she showed signs of Schizophrenia. She died two months due to her own imagination. My whole life has been a tragic and I don't think it is ever gonna change. Honestly, from a materialistic point of view, I am well settled but I want more. I need more. This hollow I feel in my chest was not aching only that one time. That one time I felt immense power and dominance. That one time when someone else's world was in my control. That one time I killed someone.
