Sounds of loud explosion burst in unison, echoing unclear in the distance;
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1L6c9Oxxl
One meant aircraft run. Two meant tank busters.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JcLukBLPy
Three meant artillery bombardment.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78DCOYGhpy
This is it.

181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Kwdtxxu8G
Lt. Campbell turns around and shouts toward him, “Spread out! Spread out!”
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2IWgrnM5m
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.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHooPg8xgL
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.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YExeh6j63
The dark red sky ripples its shells. Ground quakes, sounds of explosives blasts ringing his ears violent.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQGFskiYne
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.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DVtAUUQYb
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.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkJsBImOQf
Then a shell thunders and blasts, sending black soils and dust spread tall and high.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFqY0FonVo
He looks away. It could’ve been him.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIHQTRz3CC
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.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFgbKj7sdr
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.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOC6Df7zUY
Pvt. Edwards nods as he takes and opens it still looking indifferent. At least he accepts his gesture.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVyLHKqEoo
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?!”
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzugl1uyep
Sgt. Gallagher shouts his voice near Ed, “Heard they chop their hand off!”
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gXqYYfNmt
Lt. Campbell shouts back, “What?!”
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPqTHFYf1J
“My friend from the colonies! He says they chop their hands off!”
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDJzN11mwt
“Feudalistic chap!” Lt. Campbell shakes his head.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI72KCn7HIA
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.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0VcOa9hF9
Tom clenches his throat dry. Waiting.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFiRGXQSd6
A whistle blares strong, signalling the second charge. This is it.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQHdlBD3c0
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.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EqgL7GmzW
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.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttJAfZIwgy
As Tom aims he discovers a grey soldier throwing a grenade toward them. He stumbles and falls scrambling as it flashes.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyf7oeqgi6
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.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BGHVqmdR1
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.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6KHXWeG41
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.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuMBJxjKIm
There he finds Pvt. Edwards kneels as he cocks back his rifle. A yellow shell flings from its chamber.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6boUM76zh
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.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTXjObSJZo
Tom sees a deep enough hole for cover, he grabs Edward and jumps down to it.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfwFVKH3FA
The earth trembles as the barrage shells land, ringing his ears once more.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvA9ER79xw
As the dirt drips from above, Tom looks at his buddy and exchanges his gaze with him. Still steady.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaJjG6R5eu
“It’s us now, Ed,” Tom says.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dqhhrXowf
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.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPE9xJxvLk
"Hey. What's it like in Sheffield again?" Tom asks.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzKsez00ZJ
Edward shrugs, means 'it's okay'.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Adq9pBJdb
"Could I visit your home someday?"
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcbKEmorKs
He raises his eyebrows abruptly. It means 'sure'. Not much of a conversation as always. Though a hint of a smile reassures him.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESytiBXy7a
Tom leans his head back, wandering his mind away from the surrounding blows as the cloud expresses its hellish colour.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZpKKsTbOr
There's a glimpse of a green meadow between his thoughts. His heart aches from the vision. Tom looks at his only friend.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeDxOSrKJu
Is it even possible Ed?
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KBnq0Q1CT
The barrage ends, and a hush of stillness seems to have dominated the ground above. Tom peeks at his buddy, waiting for an answer.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMrMlCVRot
Pvt. Edwards nods his head around up, means 'let's go'.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc5HGC4rY3
Tom follows as he pulls himself up the hole. He stands up and looks around as the mist of explosive shells covers them.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMjE2Fl0ob
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.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvTACZZOPa
The soldier aims toward him. Tom closes his eyes.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPqn0J3WF3
This is it.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVO9GO0GMd
Two shots blare through his ears at the same time.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBZ8bc03u0
He opens his eyes, the grey soldier's on the ground without a soul, his breath shortens as he turns to his side.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHXMD2KURk
He finds blood streams from his friend's forehead.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrobOuGpdue
Eyes wide open, chest rips out in tormenting despair, as Tom screams his lungs out.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdebXgv25Z1
“Edward!”
