Descriptive online assignment

Everything was silent, only the sounds of men walking on crumbled rock. It was so quiet and it was so gloomy. Almost all the buildings had turned to ruble. There were only a few buildings left that were on the verge of tumbling down with a swing of an axe. There were bullet holes in the walls of the buildings and cracks all over. The place they were at was so deserted like a ghost town. Soldiers armed with rifles and their uniform soiled, were walking around, they seemed to be examining the area. Some soldiers went up to a high-rise building to look at what their enemies were doing. It was really sad to see so many buildings brought down. It smelt like rotten bodies and burnt wood. It was really horrible. As the soldiers went into one of the buildings that was still standing,, the door no longer existed. Only chipped holes in the wall just like an opening of a cave. Debris was sprawled everywhere. The building must have been a really beautiful one before the war happened. Some patterns of design still existed engraved in the walls. What a waste. As they walked up the staircase to the second level, they saw colored tiles on the walls chipped and lost its shine. When they reached the second level, the windows were as good as doors. They seemed to be blown off by grenades. The soldiers stood on the edge of the once beautiful building, looking in the direction of East Berlin. They saw Russian tanks moving, advancing fast. It was definitely not a pleasant sight from up there. Less than four buildings were standing, the rest were all blocks of cement and rock. They went back and continued their search with their hearts heavy.
