Yaveria - 1917

Chapter 1 - Page 6

"Get out of my way!" She shouted at the soldiers who were around those helpless soldiers laying there. First, she inspected the two soldiers who lost their limbs, as she asked "Hello?! Can you hear me, Private?!" One of them only had his left ear functioning, and one is deaf from the explosion.

"Call in for medical support! Don't just stand there!" again, she shouts at her surroundings. Some of them immediately seek to find a field doctor, some of them are just clueless. Then she moves into the unfortunately dead soldiers, as she tries to move their bodies.

I walk closer to see their condition, but when I saw it, I nearly puked. The first one I saw was the soldier who lost his face, clearly not alive anymore. The other two losses both of their legs, I could even see their bones coming out of their flesh.

"Pax in morte..." She whispers to the dead. Then, Alex was curious so he came to see it himself. He immediately hides behind me, as he's terrified. "W-what the hell?!?!" he spoke to himself. I just immediately pull him away, as I am a little annoyed by his gesture.

"God... this is terrifying." I said to myself, as I looked at Sergeant kneeling down there, inspecting their wounds. She looks back, and glares at me "What are you doing, Private?! Get back to your position!" I nodded to her, as I immediately went back to the designated machine gun for me to operate.

Although it was repositioned because the first one was hit by an artillery shell. But, I have no time just looking around, I have to keep watching over the front, or we might just be dead just dealing with a few dead bodies. Alex is still terrified, he curls up besides the ammunition stockpiles.

My supporting personel was a little bad tempered today, so he shouts at him to pass the ammunition boxes. Alex immediately became self-conscious again, although he remained terrified with what he had just witnessed previously. As I kept shooting my weapon, I also kept getting reminded of what I had seen previously.

I start to lose my focus, and shoot aimlessly. I couldn't even count how many bodies were already hit by the bullets I shot, I just kept going without any directions or even meaning to stop anytime soon. Although Sergeant hit my helmet softly from behind, she said "Oi, dummy. You can't shoot properly or something?"
