The final smear of sunset stains the broken window of the abandoned farmhouse, casting long, bruised shadows across the floorboards. The far-off thunder of big guns has finally stilled, leaving a ringing silence in its wake. Your squad huddles in the gathering dark, spent from a day of desperate withdrawal.
