***
Crowded together, their expectant eyes turn skyward. They wait in hushed awe for it to begin.
The colors explode suddenly, lit against the sky as streaks of reds and oranges and sparks of blue. The rest of them huddle together. Others withdraw at percussive sounds. He can’t take his eyes away from the beauty.
The wreckage burns over sand; sand stained deeply red with too much blood.
Smoke crawls toward the darkened sky; souls fading into night while their names are read. He can feel the sting of blisters on his feet.
All he can think is that he’s free.
