"Incoming!!"

"Take cover!"

BOOM

Sounds of war, the screaming, the agony, gunshots and grenades

Nowhere is safe

I am part of the famous sniper crew: The Silent Reaper

Our mission today is to support our elite soldiers in a safe distance

But unfortunately, we were ambushed

"Tanks!!"

There I was, laying in the ground,  beside my comrade, Eric "Spin". Codename: hatchet

"We need do lay down and stay still" said Eric

I watched my team, one by one, falling down

"Abort mIssion, lads!! Retreat and take cover!" Shouted the commander, lying on the ground

I wanted to stand up and help, but Eric stopped me

"You shouldn't be standing up, we are in high grass, as long as they don't have heat detectors, we will be fine" he explained

Right at that moment, a grenade landed between us

"Guess that they do have detectors"

BOOM

After the screaming stopped, and the slaughter was done

I suddenly woke up in a misty wasteland, it looked like a war zone.
I felt like I woke up from a dream

I stood up, and looked at myself

My uniform was torn,   my hand was revealing flesh and bones. Even though it is parted form my elbow, it's still floating in mid air!!

I touched my head, my left part of my head was destroyed, my eye was gone, but somehow I still see.

I looked at my torso, a big hole at my left waist, revealing my liver and kidney. My stomach had been torn.

But then I noticed something

I could not hear my heart beat, nor I could breathe

I walked a little, and I accidentally tripped over a barbed wire

I feel no pain, nor the wind blowing at my face

I feel only, cold

I feel very, very cold

I kept walking, it was very dark

Then, I saw someone.

"Hello?" I shouted

Suddenly, I felt a great chill down my spine

Looked behind, and I saw a very dark figure

It had no eyes and no face

"Are you from the war?" Asked the figure

His voice was very deep and calm, it sounds like a man

"Yes, I am"  I replied

He then didn't say anything

It was silent for a moment

"What is your name?" He asked again

"My name is Evan" I replied

"My name is Groon" he said

"I am a merchant in here, approved by God himself, I sell various things in this cold wasteland"

"Where are we?" I asked

"You are in what humans called, purgatory." Answered Groon

"Wait, don't I have to be judged?" I asked, in confusion
