I wake up drenched in sweat in my barracks with my book opened up beside me. The radio blares "the Roko area will be... covered by a high pressure system bringing a clear and sunny day, be careful of the uv rays in the afternoon". I think to myself it was a dream, a dream... . An image flickers through my head of my limb shredded body and i quickly put my hand over my mouth to prevent myself from puking. I feel sick.. A dream of me dying and losing my arm- i snap out of it when my bunk mate yells my name " Shadow!".
He hands me over a paper and says "sign it". I shyly agree because i don't want to cause any trouble. After i scan over the paper i notice its a confession that i stole the booze from the px for their party tonight. He says "after the war well turn in the confession signed by the guy who died, perfect plan right?. I know its tradition but i don't get it, we suit up this afternoon you know? what are u talking about?, the party's tonight. "Were rolling out tomorrow" he said. to-tomorrow i said shakily and stood up.. BANG! I hit my head on the top bunk ( i wanted to scream but endured my pain silently). My bunkmate asks me if i was ok but his voice started to fade away as i thought, this happened already. I remember.... I decided not the drink last night and read the half opened book that lye on my bunk. My bunkmate spoke up ",this is your first battle so i know your nervous but you need to relax man. Half listening to him i say "yeah... ok" and i think to myself was it all a dream. "I guess I'm a lot more freaked out then i thought I was" i said. My name is Shadow kiriya and I'm a soldier... a jacket soldier , going into my first battle tomorrow.... yeah... .
