George fires his rifle, and the bullet hits the enemy in the gut. The man lands with a thud, and blood drips from his mouth. George seeks cover in a nearby ditch, men screaming and dying all around. The sun is fading, and the firing hasn’t stopped. He can’t stay there any longer. One of his comrades jumps in.
“Charles, we need to get out soon or we’ll be sitting ducks.”
They wait until the firing slows and run.
George gets to the other side, but Charles gets fatally shot in the chaos.
George continues running and never looks back.
