"Burning Harbor."

Date: February 23, 1814

Location: Outskirts New Port, Rhode Island

I woke up.. I saw in the distance a burng Harbor, I saw ashes fluttering in the sky as there were some gunshots then and there. I grabbed my musket and powder as I got on my horse, ridjng to the Town Hall as I didmounted running to the Town Hall's Bell before ringing it 4 times rapidly to signal the Minute Men.

The men ran gathering to the Town Halls Basement as they gathered their muskets and loaded buck and ball before they got out lining up.

I got my drum as I went to the front of the line before we began to march in formation. We kept pace as we were about 4 miles away before reaching.. We marched through the streets as we kept hearing screaming and smelt gunpowder.. before we heard a full barrage of cannon fire from one of the Merchant Ships. We began to pace faster and faster whilst I began playing the tunes with the flagman by the sude before we all made a line. I played the order to make ready, then present.. and finally fire.. I had never seen combat, but.. I truly wished out already.

I never thought these people would eat each other.. We were all family.. I thought so hard.. Was it because of that european disease.. called "Blight?" Who knew really before we fired another volley again.. though the horde bashed into us.. as I was left there to run to the ship with a good 20 of us still alive.. we ran, and we got onto the ship before it pulled the plank out.

Women and children ran and screamed, though one of the men decided to pull the plank back in... Women and children ran before we set sail a bit off of the coast..

I felt glad for a while, It was a moment of safety, though it truly dawned upon me that.. most of us were dead.. just before I could reminisce about the memories I heard screaming on deck as I grabbed a pistol cocking back the flint before I walked up before seeing people bite each other and such.. just then a friend of mine, Peter ran down to the bottom deck as I fired a round into one of those hellish monsters covering Peter.. I felt something tackle me from the side with me getting ran over by one of them. I screamed and SCREAMED! Before I unsheathed one of the drum sticks, I had stabbed the canniblistic monsters eye in with it as I then reeled it out before doing the other eye, digging it in.

I felt pure horror for the first time with me, throwing off the body off of me. I got up weilding and grabing a hold of the musket wherr I presented the musket high with its bayonet before I approached up seeing a cannible walking towards me. I twisted the musket to the side before reeling and striking into its head.

Blood flew and splattered like a champagne bottle before I pulled it out... and retreated down the stairs, heading to the bottom deck where I rest with only 12 armed men.. I got on my knees as I began to pray, hoping that they would break in.. and maybe we would last this hell hole...

Though that was never the case as they finally broke in.. I screamed and wailed as I acted dead on the bloody floor with my comrades, blood flowing and splattering on me. I stayed and stayed till soonly I hoped that the military would come.
