Genre: War, Horror, Death Word Count: 2000 Teaser:Quickly turning his eyes from the paper, Gustav glanced around the room. But his mind no longer entrapped him in his dining room. Instead, he lay beneath a tall tree as the deafening sounds of gunshots began to fill his consciousness once more. His head rolled to the side, pressing against dirt puddled with his blood and skin. His mouth hung wide as his unmoving eyes stared down the barrel of his rifle as the dim light from the sunset glistened against it. His blood traveled down the barrel and onto his hand, which was around the trigger. Blood poured from his mouth, and there was no longer a reason to breathe. Gustav's eyes closed as, once again, the world's noise was drowned out by an overwhelming sound of nothingness, his last hope being to awaken once more.
