...... It was hot.... chokingly hot... It was like i was trapped inside a huge metal coffin.... What happened? Did we get hit?..... A thousand thoughts rushed through Zerhs head. Were the gunners alright? What about Hedwig? Was she still in the driver's seat ?
Zerh crawled his way through the wreckage to the gunner's seat. If there was one smell he would never get used to it would be the smell of burning flesh, it tore in his nose and hurt almost as much as the heat. He crawled towards the driver's seat with an uncomfortable smell of coal, burning flesh and gunpowder all around him. When he Finally got to the driver's seat he was a little relieved that Hedwig was all right, what he did not like though was that she was already out of the Barrel (tank) and surrounded by frankish soldiers.
They saw him instantly and opened fire.
He hid behind the driver's seat but he was pinned. He had two options, the first were to crawl back into the now burning hot barrel or option two to get out of the barrel and get shot, he wasn't too fond of either option, both were equally painful and deadly. so he crawled back inside the barrel...
he had about 20 seconds before he would not survive so he went straight for the gunners seat again.. the smell of burning flesh was still there he noticed, only it wasn't the gunners flesh burning, it was his.
he had only the strength to pull the trigger and shout "Down" before it all went black.
