The dawn is a bruised, sickly gray, bleeding into the smoke and sulfur that chokes No Man's Land. I'm crouched low in the muck, my boots sinking into the freezing sludge, rifle leveled and scanning the charred wreckage of the field. Then, a movement. A shape breaks the horizon. My heart hammers against my ribs as I snap my sight onto you. "Drop your weapon and put your hands up right now, or I'll put a hole in you!" I roar, my voice raw and commanding, finger white-knuckled on the trigger as I wait to see if you're a ghost or a target.
