Comrades And Episodes.

I suddenly herd voices I recognized them as Timmins, Jones and Bard. I heard them talk about ex-lovers and the sort. I thought about their tunics that did not fit, and there faces that I thought I would never see again. I then thought to myself, I am only a hundred yards away I can make it I'm sure. So I started to try and scramble across no mans land. I heard my leg click and crunch as I tried to move it. The bones grinded together and the blood still came it was killing me, literally. The ground was so hard and cold and it bit into my blood-covered hands. I began to lose feeling in my leg, I did not know if this was good or bad. I can make it I kept on saying in my mind. I could see the parapet now as I slowly bit my lip and dragged my carcase towards it.

I heard Bard shout "Mr Gates!"

They watched as I tried to clamber over the parapet my foot was caught of the barbed wire and was stripped of most of its flesh, I did not have any feeling in it so it did not matter. I looked at the torn flesh and the ripped and mashed veins dragging on the floor. I could not get over the parapet. Timmins, Jones and Bard realised this they new that if they tried to help me they where open to any snipers.

They all jumped together I saw Timmins scull cave in as a bullet ripped through his now empty scull ,the blood splattered on my face, and I saw his brain fly out of the back of his head. I then looked to the left and saw Jones' head cave in as another bullet went through his left eye, he then fell and rolled on the floor like a lifeless dolly. Finally Bard grabbed hold of me and pulled me over the parapet where a doctor managed to save my leg, but I was never going to be able to walk again.
