Description
They had walked right into it... firefight. The first rounds hit them before they knew what was happening. Snipers above them in the ruined hotel had racked off at least six shots in rapid succession. The side-arms that were standard issue for medics were of little use, the shooters were out of the range of such weapons. Caught in the open with nowhere to take cover, they were easy targets and they both were hit repeatedly... Corporal Lindsey took two rounds to the head and fell almost immediately. Sarge was hit numerous times, but he had pulled his helmet on at the first sound of gunfire, and the Kevlar armor suit protected him from any real damage. He made a desperate call to base and within a matter of minutes the sound of approaching Apaches brought an abrupt halt to the attack.... but it was too late for the Corporal, all he could do was gather up the body and return it for burial.
There is no such thing as a fire-free zone, it doesn't exist.
Wanted to give black and white another go, so here it is.
Thanks for the peek.

No fire free zones, indeed... A very gripping image, Seth - there are far too many brave young men and women in harm's way. We must never forget their sacrifices; especially those who like the corporal have paid the ultimate price.

A fire-free zone? Perhaps there is on on the other side of the moon ... but not on earth. Great image and story!! ;-)

Fantastic render and composition, Seth. Heartbreaking subject, though. B&W works great for this.

Sounds like a proper Charlie Fox.
