Dropped
You play dead. You close your eyes and hope for the best.
The rumbling gets closer and then stops.
"Flash!"
The Sergeant jumps out of the bushes and half whispers the word "Thunder!"
Five allied soldiers emerge from the treeline. The Sergeant runs over to them, and you see a soldier run up to you.
"Good god! How are you not dead yet?" The soldier who said that kneels by you. He has a red cross on his helmet.He treats you for a little bit. You feel a lot better, whatever he did, the pain is nowhere near as bad now.
"He'll live."
You overhear another soldier talking to the Sergeant.
"We killed the Kraut patrol on the way here, so we'll be fine on our way back to the camp we set up in a barn. It's only a five minute walk from here. From there, we can set up a bed for your friend there, and wait until things cool down so we can get him back home."
The Sergeant agrees, and in a few minutes the squad heads out.
As you lay on your makeshift stretcher, you cant help but wonder what would have happened if you had jumped out of the plane.
But you'll have to do with going home after only a few hours of deployment (and being responsible for the lives of three allied soldiers).
At least you wont have to worry about war anymore.
But you'll never get rid of that feeling. What if you had been braver?
