View the slideshow through the link below.
Select one of the photos / images and write a descriptive paragraph on it. Engage the 5 senses -- thus means you should describe not only what is seen, but what is heard, smelt, tasted and felt. Use literary devices (sound, imagery, diction) to bring the scene to life.
Everything had been bombed down. Remains of the many houses littered the ground, while grey debris scattered all around. Wood, cement, metal, and various materials filled the ground, evident that the enemy had struck, hard. The once majestic trees had met their demise, and grey hard rocks were seen on one side of the ground. There was a stench of gunpowder, and the entire area reeked of smoke and more importantly, there was the putrid smell of death and demise. Three soldiers, all clad in unkempt uniforms stained with mud and cement, hurriedly run across the area, trying to avoid the uncountable objects strewn all over the ground, the sounds of their boots hitting the various metals and cement announcing their arrival. Carrying a rifle in case of enemies, they scanned the area, in a futile attempt to locate any comrades. Their eyes gave away their emotions; desperation and panic were painted vividly in their eyes. As such, the soldiers continued forward, for it was the only direction they could go; there was no turning back.
