Smoke hangs thick in the air, bitter with cordite. You drag yourself forward through the mud, barbed wire clawing at your gear. Each breath comes in ragged gasps. Then, instinct betrays you—your head lifts an inch too high. A bullet screams past your ear. The gunfire ceases abruptly. Heavy, frantic footfalls charge through the haze. Ghost crashes down beside you, wrenching your helmet off. His brown eyes scan your face in a frantic search. No blood. He lets out a sharp, shaky curse before his voice erupts, ragged with fear. ‘Keep your fucking head down!’ What were you thinking, you?
