Charming Billy


It is only my second day here and even though I haven’t experienced much war I have experienced a dramatic death. Charming Billy died out of all reasons a person can die of war, he died of a heart attack. As my troops and I were walking through the mine field Charming Billy accidentally stepped on one and he was in complete shock the doctor and nurses kept telling him that he wouldn’t die and he scared himself into a heart attack, a bloody heart attack. I don’t know why it is so funny to me. Maybe it is because I am scared myself. It keeps going through my mind as I am laying on the ground waiting to for the night to get lighter so I can continue to walk on.
