For King and Country

Two soldiers brave the atrocities of war together, fighting side by side in the most intense battle yet. One survives. The other very nearly does not.

'Fear and panic grip me with cold fingers, wrapping around me till I feel suffocated, constricted; till I cannot breathe, hoping against hope that I do not join the wounded, broken bodies littered on the ground. I will myself not to look at them and look forward, at our enemy.' ~Julian Avery Enger
