FRIENDLY FIRE
by
Doug Donnan
“NO, NO, NO, …BE ADVISED…LISTEN UP GOD DAMMIT…I REPEAT…
CHARLIE, ECHO, ALPHA, SIERRA, ECHO, FOXTROT, INDIA, ROMEO, ECHO…CHECK YOUR FIRE... YOUR FREAKIN' ARTILLERY COVER IS TOO SHALLOW... I REPEAT... CHARLIE, ECHO, ALPHA, SIERRA, ECHO... FOXTR--
Suddenly a deafening explosion.
Soon, at the very last heartbeat, a dark and foreboding silence.
Then, as if on cue, the incessant concert of the midnight cicadas and crickets begins.
