Gunshots peppered the sand around camp. Mortar fire singed his nostrils. The stench of blood tainted the hot desert air. Good guys. They were supposed to be the good guys, fighting for freedom.

The enemy used the dry terrain to their benefit, their robes blending in with the sand and making them impossible to see.

Remi crawled up next to him behind the sandbags, keeping his head down as the enemy fired round after round into the American compound.

“Shockley’s been hit,” Remi said, sweat dripping down the side of his face.

“Dead?”

“Soon.”

No point in calling for a helicopter, then, he surmised. “Anybody else?”

“They’re trying to destroy the howitzer.”

They’d put false intel out that this compound had a new weapon in order to draw the faction out to the east. Here they were, but air support was not. “We’ll counter with snipers.” He was used to being bait—thrived on the anticipation as he watched the enemy fall into their trap. Nobody in his unit was supposed to die, but that was war, wasn’t it? Taking chances with your life.

It was what they did.

He aimed his scope over the sandbags and sighted the sniper to the left. There! He got off a round, and his enemy went down. Problem was, there were always more.

Remi dove as a grenade lobbed over the sandbags—too close. Smoke filled the foxhole. Remi’s left side jerked as if shaken by an invisible hand, and blood pooled beneath Jackson’s feet.

Not Remi, he whispered. Not Remi.
