Saved The Best For Last
BANG... BANG...
The sun beating down on my face, sweat is blinding my eyes and yet my thirst is the least of my worries. My friends lay next to me... bloody and still. I can hear the screams of the enemy as they approuch the building. I cant even look over the edge of the roof, every bullet that shatters the silence could be the last thing I hear. I reach for my last clip and let off a few warning shots and they return a hundred to my one. I grab my cheat and pull out a picture of a little girl, a beautiful mother, two people in this world I want to live for. I feel a strenght come over my body, a willingness to survive and I wipe the sweat from my brow, chamber my last clip and lift my body up over the edge letting off round after round into the mob below me, I feel a pain in my chest and then my shoulder, I fall back. I cant breath the impact has knocked the air out of my body. Slowly a warm sensation flows down my arm to my finger tips. I look to my left, Sgt lays there staring at me. I cheak my rifle, one round left. I can hear footsteps inside the building now...They will be here any minute now, they know they had us outnumbered and out gunned. I can hear the rescue response coming, 3 gunships are spotted over the horizon. Red smoke... I have to pop red smoke. Let them know the area is still hot and its a lost cause. One bullet left is not gonna hold them off long enough. I grab the lifeless body next to me and pull a smoke canister from his pouch, the ring slips over my finger and I flashback... I see familiar faces crying and a beautiful woman next to me in a white dress, me in my service uniform. The ring boy hands me a golden symbol of my love and affection. slowly slipping it on her finger tears fall from her eyes, and I become breatheless. BANG.... BANG... I pull the ring and throw it to the corner farthest away from the mob red smoke fills the air and I can only see the bodies next to me but i hear footsteps and I know I am not alone. I lay down and exhale all my breathe and remain complete still through the smoke i see a figure approuch I reach for my leg, unsheath the sharpened cold steel knife that was issued to me. When the figure gets within reach he unloads his rifle into a deceased team member, when i hear the trigger stop I jump up and sink my blade into his chest, turning and pushing it further into his chest. I stare directly into his eyes as i take the life from his body. I grab the rifle and a fresh clip of 7.62 rounds. I pull the trigger aiming into the smoke I hear the footsteps stop and gunshots ring out, and I know the gunships are here. I may make it, I might make it, I look down at a bloody picture in my hands, This may be the last time I hold you in my arms... but you never looked more beautiful. I grab my rifle, and its one bullet. Who was that last bullet ment for...
