   Summary

   The ground settled beneath him. Or, no- behind him. And it was so subtle, he was baffled he noticed. So insignificant, at first. Then a pop. For what felt like minutes, he thought it was just another gunshot, from a comrade, from the men across the field, he didn't know. He didn't care, he just needed to get across the trench.

   Yet, he was stuck.

   No. No, not stuck. He felt no blood-soaked soil beneath his knees. He saw no impatient battalion ushering him forward. And despite that, despite honing and understanding that fact, he didn't know where the fuck he was.
