Travel Guide

A story of war

“Taking careful aim, I let him have it in the chest. Immediately, my ears were deafened by the din, as the machine gun rattled, the automatics chattered, and the rifles cracked. Down below, there began a strange dance of death. There was no doubt I had hit my target; he clutched his chest and lurched forward to fall on his face. The others were flailing, leaping, diving down the hillside, at the same time returning our fire. In the crackle of rifle fire, bullets were flying past, whistling about our ears.”
