::::::::
Blindfold!Blindfold!
Hands tide, tightly!
Oh, that hurts!
Arms wrenched back!
Angry gibberish in the ears!
Rifle barrel in the ribs!
Wind knocked out!
Heart exploding through the chest!
Hot sweat soaking through cammies!
Skin crawls, hair stands on end!
Questions:
Where are they taking us?
How did I get here?
What the hell happened?
Where was our back-up!
Fear:
Is this it?
This is it!
Oh god, will they cut off my head?
Regrets:
I shouldn't have joined up.
I should have stayed home!
What will this do to my folks?
Oh god, I'm sorry mom!
Question:
What the fuck am I doing here?
Thrown into the back of a vehicle!
Engine starts up!
Vehicle takes off down a bumpy road!
The sound of a chopper recedes in the distance!
Oh god, come and get us, guys!
Please come and get us!
