"Very epic"
date: April 26, 2008
Here's what I see:
A soldier flies across a body of water in a helicopter, his mind on those he left back home. His ranking officer tells him and the rest in the chopper that it's time to move out. The helicopter hovers a few feet above and away from the beach as the soldiers jump out. The sky is overcast, and rain seems inevitable. He trudges through the cold, murky water to the sandy beach, where he and his comrades are ambushed. A bullet pierces his left shoulder, and he falls to the ground. Thunder rumbles nearby, drowning out the closer sounds of battle. The clouds burst, and the soldier lays on his back, watching the rain fall from the sky. He remembers again the loved ones back home: his daughter, his wife, his parents, his friends. And he can never go back. Never.
Of course, that is just what I perceive. Beautiful piece.
