"Burnt Yellow and Red"

Inspired by true events, this is a modern war story of men, true patriots all, thrust into an ancient and destructive world ruled by warlords. Mission: Take down the Taliban and capture Kabul.

Kyle knew he had been hurt badly as they laid him down gently in a patch of green grass that had been grazed to the nub by sheep.  There was a tree with no leaves nearby and he could hear water trickling through the aqueduct that ran the length of the wadi, down to a watering hole he had passed earlier that morning. 

His body was numb and he could still smell the dust and smoke from the barrage but he couldn’t feel a thing as he drifted off to sleep.  To Kyle the world wrapped itself in a prism of brilliant colors, burnt yellow and red as he slipped into a deep, comfortable sleep, feeling no pain, feeling no fear.  Completely unaware of reality he dreamed vividly and found himself watching as his life passed before his very eyes.
