Final breath..

The battle was getting too out of hand.

Men after men were being shot by the red coats.

I was doing my best at keeping myself protected and shooting off the red coats.

"When will this war end?" I mumbled as I watched a man next to me get shot.

Before I knew it. I saw a bullet fly at me. I couldn't feel anything.

My whole body froze up. My hand on my chest where the bullet had entered.

I fell back, slowly yet painfully.

I look up at the sky.

"Th-They'll tell the story of tonight.." I mumbled, smiling.

I close my eyes and drift off.
