It's cold and dark. Is it normal to hear ringing in your ears? I can't tell if its fireworks or gunfire, I should open my eyes. Come on open goddamnit. Wow... look at those Stars, I can't look at them all night. Why is my side wet? Blood!? What happened to m? I need to get out of here, I need to get home. Why did I choose this job? I left my kids, my family, and for what? For war? To show that im Brave? I need to get back. Where am I? Sand? Iraq! Those bastards shot me, they will pay for this those sons of a -- okay! focus! I need to go home but how? Everyone thinks I'm dead. Maybe there is a base nearby but which way? There is the North Star and boss man last said the base is East but how far? Come on, get up! Get up you coward! Agh, this fucking hurts, gotta go home, gotta get to the base. Where is my rifle? There! Ah shit, low on ammo. Deep breaths, I can make it. Is that... My backpack! Ok, flare gun, matches, three grenades, little bit of water, wait... where is my radio? Where is it!! Forget it, this can hold me. The area looks clear but I don't trust it. God what a mess, trucks flipped over, fire still going, what happened? How long was I out? This fucking ringing won't stop!! How can people live like this!? This is complete bullshit. Come on, base can't be that far. Don't worry my little ones, I'll be home soon. Are those... Lights!! That's base!! I'm coming home! I'll... I'll be home... agh!! I can't breathe, everything is spinning.... i... I can do it. My eyes shut as I feel air rushing past and then sand scatteringas I fall to the ground. D-don't worry my little ones... i-im coming h-home. Everything goes black.
