Bang Bang I hear as I'm running for my life through the no man's land.Swoosh as a bullet drives past my face as quick as a flash. I stutter and look around at all the soldiers covered in dirt and dust. One person catches my eye. I cry in fury and horror.I wail once I identify him. It was my best friend in primary school.WILL I say you were a good friend and a great  brother .
