Paintball Match (Story)
As i stood ready next to my team mates, barrel touching the mesh netting, preparing for what was about to come. "Game starts in 10..." the ref paused for what seemed to be a mere minutes, i prepared taking a long deep breathe calming my self, thinking about where i was going to go, looking at my team mate Rick, he nodded and a smiled through his mask "Lets get it done Burg". my other 4 team mates prepared everyone in the squat position looking across the field to find the other team the same way, waiting. "GO GO GO!" Time slowed down, hell broke out, everyone jump from the mesh netting and pointed guns to the opposite side, shooting balls in the direction where they guessed the opponent would go balls flying everywhere, hearing the ramping of everyone's guns. There was no time for me to do that, i was the Offensive rush, sprinting to protection while i could see mere blurs of balls swooshing by me nearly hitting, hearing the hissing sound they made. My heart beating fast, my eyes were lock on getting to that snake. I got closer and closer, and when i thought i was close enough i dove straight for it, hitting the ground with all force, sliding across the ground and into the snake i was safe from being hit. I instantly got up on my knees and quickly took glimpses of my surroundings, seeing one of the opponents at the other end of the snake i quickly tucked back as he started the fire at me. I crouched behind the bunker hearing him still shooting wait for me to make that mistake in peaking out, i waiting, took a deep breathe and waiting for him to stop. As soon as he stopped firing i engaged, getting off my knees i peaked over and saw he wasn't there, i quickly started to run towards him, staying close to the snake in case he tried to peak back, i started opening fire before i even got around to him and as i did he didn't know what to do, hitting four times and seeing the paint splatter and the ref calling him out, my eyes quickly changed directions looking further down the field and seeing another opponent peak from behind and started to shoot, i also fired, but i fired only to scare him back in, but it didn't work. I was missing him, while his trail of paintballs got closer to me, i dropped to the ground and rolled behind the bunker, the ref came over to give me a paint check, "Clear!" At this point three of my teammates were out, me, Rick, and Leo were safe. Rick and Leo in the back giving me cover fire when it was needed. I didn't know how many were on their team, but you never stop until the ref says "Game".I pulled my pod from my pouch and filled my hopper up with balls falling out hear and there as i poured, i dropped my pod when it emptied and reengaged. Rick was yelling out their position, and Leo was moving up, i could hear two guns being shot from in front of me, because they sounded differently when they fired. i peaked out, i could see them both, they had no idea i was there. I started to run back to where they had first started and as i ran i opened fire, seeing the trail of paintballs missing at first, i corrected my firing and i hit the furthest one back, as i got the one opponent he had gotten Leo just before. Rick started to move up once i took the one opponent down, and the other turned around and started firing at me i got behind a bunker before he could hit me, hearing the balls hit the bunker i knew it was over for him, i could see Rick moving up. The opponent in front of me started to fire at Rick and so i jumped out and started to fire, but i was to late he had gotten Rick just as i got him. But i got their last guy! we had one, the sacrifice Rick was worth it! i started to run for the flag on their mesh pole, and just as i was about to grab it out of no where i got lite up with paintballs, feeling the sting i turned around and saw nothing, i don't what just shot me, but then an opponent came out from behind the bunker! i had missed him, he must have been hiding and wait for me to make the mistake no to many players make... we had lost, so close to victory yet so far away...

The vision ^_^ needs editing
As i stair at the door, i took a deep breathe and the vision came back to me again, time began to slow down. (I'm in the dark room again, starring into nothing, hearing a faint buzzing noise, "who's there?" i said, the only reply was the the faint buzzing noise. As i started to walk forward the room that i was in started to brighten, i stepped back in surprise and everything went black again. The buzzing noise went away and now all i could hear was a high pitch tone, that kept getting louder and louder in my head. I could feel that simple beat in my head as i stood there looking into the dark. "Come" said a voice that seemed to be right in front of me but as i put my hand out to feel all i felt was warm air turn into icy cold air. i panicked, closing my eyes hard thinking to myself that this was only just a dream and i was fine, nothing bad could happen to me, right? was this a dream or was it a mere vision of what was about to happen, i wouldn't know. i opened my eyes again the room was white, bodies everywhere, burned bodies, black and red was everywhere in the room, smoke was coming and the smell was to gruesome. Out of the corner of my eye i saw something move, i turned my head quickly, seeing a man in his mid sixties he looked ashy like, no legs, no clothing, he was crawling towards a door that seemed to get further and further away, i felt in myself that he deserved what he was getting but then i was feeling sympathy for the man, why does he deserve this? i didn't know why or why not, but in my heart it felt right but then my head said it's wrong. I looked away as not to capture that image anymore. i looked down at my feet and saw a child what had been burned, i could tell if it was a boy or girl, it was so burnt and crisp it looked like a mutated person and i felt my stomach turn inside at. I back away and felt the presents of someone behind me, i slowly turned around to see a little girl in a perfectly white dress holding a burned teddy. she seemed to have been singing to herself but i couldn't tell. "hello?" i finally said after looking at her awhile, she mumbled something and i could hear it so i walked closer , "What do you say little girl?", she mumbled something again, "I'm sorry what?" i finally said louder as i started to walked towards her. "You did this!" she screamed in a satanic voice! she looked at me with pure white eyes, "COME BACK DADDY!" i felt a warm rush hit me and i was back.) "Are you ready Private?" "Sir?" "Are you ready to breach?" he whispered. "Sir!" As he placed the C4 on the door, everyone cleared. "Now!" As the Electric pulse hit the explosive powder the door flew back, we entered the building.
I looked down at the ground and saw men in burnt robes lying lifeless on the ground. i looked to my right like in my vision and saw a man scrambling for his rifle, he had no legs and was bleeding quickly. i lifted my rifle as to shoot and then the vision came back to me. I paused, the legless man turned around and yelled something i couldn't understand, and just before he could fire the gun my friend shoved me out of the way and took the blow to the chest. everything slew down as i watch my friend slowly fall back hitting the wall behind him. I screamed and picked up my Rifle and blankly opened fire into the room the legless man was in, bullets flying by me hitting the wall behind me. once the bullets stopped, i ran out of ammo, i quickly got off my back and looked into the room he was dead, lying on the wall. I looked down at my friend, my eyes caught something hanging out of his pocket, i bent down and took it out of his pocket. It was a picture of his baby year, age three or four holding a teddy bear in a white dress, i had another flash back from my vision. something fell from my hands, it looked like a note, I opened it, it was a note, a note from his little daughter, "Dady i lov yu and hope yu come back".

First time i went shooting, my short story :)
I went shooting today for the first time in my life... the nervousness of pulling the trigger the first time is nothing i felt before... my heart pounded and my figures cold, taking a deep breathe, "pull" watching the clay pigeon fly off the launcher, i watched and tracked it, once i pulled the trigger feeling the punch of the gun hit my shoulder and hearing the crack of the pin hitting the primer, hearing the bullets fling through the air, hearing them hit the leaves. As the clay pigeon still flew through the air in one piece i watched it hit the ground and shatter, i loaded another bullet and said "pull" taking another breathe i lifted the gun to my shoulder and pressed my cheek to the hard cold wood, i watched the clay pigeon fly across the air again, watched it and tracked it, pulled the trigger, feeling the gun hit my shoulder again i watched the clay pigeon fly to the ground in one piece yet again, i loaded the gun again and yelled "pull" this time i followed the clay pigeon till the start of it's descend, pulling the trigger again, and feeling the impact of the gun on my shoulder again, i looked and everything seemed to slow down at that point when finally the bullets caught up to that clay pigeon and shattered it into tiny little piece, a smile came to my face as i lowered the gun. i quickly switched my left shoulder to try that side, i loaded the gun, pressed the gun to my left shoulder and yelled "pull" watching the clay pigeon leave the launcher i watching and waited i pulled the trigger at it's descent, watching the pigeon shatter in the air i smiled again, i turned around and saw my dad and little brother smiling, then i saw behind them an old man who worked there and looked impressed so see someone new like me shooting like this.
later on my dad over heard the old man behind him talking to another man who worked there and said "This is the kids first time shooting and he's shooting from both shoulders, in all my time shooting i still can't do that shoot from both shoulders." when my dad told me that a big smile came to my face and laughed because i knew i had something special.

Life experience gone wrong...
LIFE EXPERIENCE! was cooking my meal tonight for my mom, so i was the only one home.. and so i thought ok let me try something from the cooking class, so i put canola oil in a pan and put it on high, (stupid idea) i was cutting the sweet potatoes from my garden and listen the the bible essay thing... and the canola oil caught on fire, i was like of cool was about a 8inch flame coming up and nothing big, so i tried to blow it out and it just went washshshshsh, nothing... so i add some water (another stupid idea) and the next thing i knew the flames went from 8inch to about 3-4 feet and started to just splash flaming canola oil everywhere! hitting the counter, the ground, i froze for about 6 seconds in shock and was like, what first... so i took the FLAMING pan and threw it into the sink up side down so the oil would spill into the drain the subsided in about 10seconds, melting the plastic bottle under it (oops >.>) i had spilled a little bit of oil on the stove so i tried blowing it out, nothing... (should have seen that one coming...) so i took the paper towel and smacked it dry. the house alarm at this time was going off and i was swearing like crazy... running over to it and fanning it so it would stop, and it did... for about 2min... then back on, so at thissss time the house was pitch black (from where i was standing i could see the kitchen with all the black smoke) i did my STOP! DROP! and ROLL! which did nothing... so i got back up and ran to the door opened what, ran to the window open one, the other wouldn't open so i start to hit and which did nothing so i stopped. went to the garage and got the fan that is half my size and turn that baby on and opened the garage and in about 10 min the smoke was clear but the after marks weren't... there was black crap all over the fan, i burned the fan and melted the fan blades (they still work) and after that whole experience... i'm never cooking with canola oil ever again!-Life Experience #1
