Cpl. Zuniga laid next to me, "Corporal….get up!’ I yelled hoarsely. She coughed, and turned her head to face me. “Hey boss…” she mumbled, after that she went into a coughing fit. After she stopped I said, “OK, let’s get outta this trash heap..”. I kicked the wall of burning hot metal with my boots, even through the thick layers of rubber I could feel the heat. I coughed and looked at the sky when the dust cleared. “How long was I out?” I wondered. It was now night, the moon shone brightly and the stars gleamed as if saying “hello!”.
I coughed, and stood up.Zuniga followed my example. We stared at the sheer immensity of the fort, and I was confused as to why the guards did not see or shoot at us. " lucky for us.." I thought. I sighed as I noticed both our assault rifles were missing, lost amongst the wreckage of our downed bird. I was glad to know the pistol was there though. “let’s move out!”
