Sounds of loud explosion burst in unison, echoing unclear in the distance;
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeM5JVbgKo
One meant aircraft run. Two meant tank busters.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj5zIr8Mun
Three meant artillery bombardment.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD4WVND988
This is it.

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtenuaGpxv
Lt. Campbell turns around and shouts toward him, “Spread out! Spread out!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8l7PGcDeg
Pvt. Tom runs following him as he glimpses most of his squad rush in different directions, stumbling on his feet as his helmet loosely fastens. He grips his rifle, steadying his arms in a cold aching shake.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJHcSDmYlv
He sees him jump into a shallow slope as he follows suit. He leans his back and tries to take a peek at the frontline, he feels his outfit drags down, putting him back on the spot. Lt. Campbell gestures to duck.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vF7Y8Yko6
The dark red sky ripples its shells. Ground quakes, sounds of explosives blasts ringing his ears violent.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3MqBf5Vkx
He discovers two men sliding down to him, he points his rifle though ceases his direction as he stares at their faces—It's Sgt. Gallagher and his bunk bed buddy, Pvt. Edwards.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0tJXgNppV
Barrage lands another multiple hit, his ears deafening but soon clear enough. He holds his rifle close and gazes left at a distance to find some of the men ducked flat on the ground. He recognizes a few of his mates.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8nf8boLfM
Then a shell thunders and blasts, sending black soils and dust spread tall and high.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO54CEI2lI
He looks away. It could’ve been him.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xpN3TnDoa
He meets Pvt. Edwards on his front, his eyes gaze steady as always, grey-brown soil covering his cheeks as he rests his weapon on the side. As Tom holds his rifle close, he feels a click-break near his upper stomach.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzRuAT0qPh
Tom remembers he has a chocolate bar he took from one of those abandoned stores. Maybe he’ll want one? With this notion, he pulls it out from his outfit and shows it to him.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwClBM2kskc
Pvt. Edwards nods as he takes and opens it still looking indifferent. At least he accepts his gesture.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uT4GYWT0Z
Lt. Campbell gives a subtle smile. He speaks with a raised voice as the following barrage lands another hit nearby, “Bit of an appetite are ya, Ed?!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAom44pRFdw
Sgt. Gallagher shouts his voice near Ed, “Heard they chop their hand off!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ423nlnb19z
Lt. Campbell shouts back, “What?!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SeDl9klyK
“My friend from the colonies! He says they chop their hands off!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnw1ha2eWH
“Feudalistic chap!” Lt. Campbell shakes his head.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjvkDtwYSz
Tom glances back, looks like Pvt. Edwards is still eating the chocolate regardless. The ground trembles after another hit. Specks of dirt land on his helmet clinging with thin metallic sounds. Until it stops. Then silence.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk4gXQKPnK
Tom clenches his throat dry. Waiting.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONQTRneABL
A whistle blares strong, signalling the second charge. This is it.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPkjLh5BlT
He picks on the rumbles of tanks far from behind as he follows Lt. Campbell's leads. The royal soldiers wail across each end of his sides as it seeps into his both ears. Pvt. Tom jumps between ditches as he yells his fears out. He sees the enemy in their grey uniform, he kneels and aims. One time he misses his shot. On the second time, he misses again. The third time he lands his bullet.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xoAAjBlKh
As he stands up he sees a grey soldier ready to pull the trigger on him. To his fortune Sgt. Gallagher shoots the man, saving him. Lt. Campbell covers his behind as he shoots down another soldier.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUfWTaHfFT
As Tom aims he discovers a grey soldier throwing a grenade toward them. He stumbles and falls scrambling as it flashes.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWvouS3s3m
Tom lay on the ground, lips tasting of salt and soil and iron. He opens his eyes clearing from a blurry vision—Sgt. Gallagher lay with his corpse smokes of shrapnel, Lt. Campbell missing an arm while another grips a pistol, shooting at the enemies aimless, eyes red standing and shouting his devilish loud voice as if daring any of them to lay claim on his life, until a grey soldier rushes to his back. The soldier thrusts his silverish long knife and tackles him to the ground.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91vaqzQAjo
Tom meets the soldier's glance. He pulls out the knife and creeps toward him. Tom scurries yet his shoulder grabs and pulls to meet the soldier's murderous intent.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMNrcbYbrE
Then a shot lands on the soldier's head, and blood spots his face as the soldier falls to the side. He glances in the direction.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJz8DwCSQX
There he finds Pvt. Edwards kneels as he cocks back his rifle. A yellow shell flings from its chamber.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V5vllzU7z
Then a barrage hums on his front, Tom grasps another artillery bombardment commence as he feels a touch by the shoulder, he finds Edwards offering his hand. He grabs onto it and runs along with him.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRGHCsBsUz
Tom sees a deep enough hole for cover, he grabs Edward and jumps down to it.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W03XubFYv
The earth trembles as the barrage shells land, ringing his ears once more.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3DYs3KSYn
As the dirt drips from above, Tom looks at his buddy and exchanges his gaze with him. Still steady.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSchERBWcX
“It’s us now, Ed,” Tom says.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLncN8ffIdi
Almost eight months of total mute, yet he admits his presence is comforting. Tom reminds himself to share a biscuit. Edward nods sideways refusing his offer. He always shakes or nods his head for a reply—Tom often finds it humorous. A bit of cheerful notion seeps through his thoughts.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PtLUNCvQc
"Hey. What's it like in Sheffield again?" Tom asks.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgldsmuWr2T
Edward shrugs, means 'it's okay'.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz14YIBOLXS
"Could I visit your home someday?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyP9xq7zoL
He raises his eyebrows abruptly. It means 'sure'. Not much of a conversation as always. Though a hint of a smile reassures him.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHz8pjnQ8o
Tom leans his head back, wandering his mind away from the surrounding blows as the cloud expresses its hellish colour.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NkWM5qFQs
There's a glimpse of a green meadow between his thoughts. His heart aches from the vision. Tom looks at his only friend.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuhkyyfX9L
Is it even possible Ed?
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHgz0VLSMP
The barrage ends, and a hush of stillness seems to have dominated the ground above. Tom peeks at his buddy, waiting for an answer.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp1i1GtpPM
Pvt. Edwards nods his head around up, means 'let's go'.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dorxTGOcm
Tom follows as he pulls himself up the hole. He stands up and looks around as the mist of explosive shells covers them.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAEQXbTyAw
He peeks at Edward and discovers a grey soldier standing sluggish holding his sidearm behind him. His eyes meet him as he raises the gun. Tom quickly pulls his trigger as it clangs an empty cartridge.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzl87XKdSs
The soldier aims toward him. Tom closes his eyes.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gpUsgPp4k
This is it.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUUypdLDSt
Two shots blare through his ears at the same time.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7JXlM6Y5r
He opens his eyes, the grey soldier's on the ground without a soul, his breath shortens as he turns to his side.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwV0XH6Dis
He finds blood streams from his friend's forehead.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpJxTrcOTN
Eyes wide open, chest rips out in tormenting despair, as Tom screams his lungs out.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSpcc4jre4
“Edward!”
