They didn’t care.

Taking aim at the ground, they forgot to watch the sky. If it hadn’t been for its eyes I never would have spotted it. The howler was on the roof of a building to the left, keeping low, watching. It waited for the soldiers to move into the space between the bullet-riddled barracks. It wanted them huddled together, shoulder-to-shoulder, unable to defend themselves. When it leapt into the shadows I couldn’t see much of anything. The darkness ate them all, left only screams. I heard two distinct voices before the gunfire began, listened as two men died. The area erupted in flashes and noise, gunfire and yelps. Something vaguely resembling a body was tossed from the shadows, face sunken, bones like shattered glass. Another body followed, and one after that. The forth was tossed so high it landed on a nearby roof. When it bounced the arm popped off, headed in the opposite direction. Something exploded. A fireball spread from between the structures, blasted outward, bits of steel taking to the air, everything on fire. The force of the explosion caught me off guard; I felt it on my face, unbearable heat. It punched my chest, turned my legs to rubber, and knocked me to my ass. Something popped in my ears. The world went away, replaced by a steady hum, so sharp I felt it in my brain.
