(no subject)
On top of the cliffs surrounding the canyon, a solitary figure wandered, almost in a bit of a daze. It was still sinking in. No armour today - what did he need it, he'd thought. Not like it was worth anything when no-one was going to shoot.
He looked around, seeing as far as he could across the canyon.
Across his home. ...His unknowing prison.
It had been alright before he'd known. While he'd still thought that this was just another posting, an unusual one but just somewhere else he'd get moved on from in the end. Not the last sight he was ever supposed to see.
I'd have given anything for them. All I ever wanted to do was to help them, do the best I could... I gave them everything I could.
And for what?
Angry, Simmons threw a pebble into the gulch below, and sat down with his back to the sheer walls. Nowhere to go, now. Nothing else to do.
"Who betrayed who, you red bastards?"
