First message

An artillery blast wakes you from your sleep. You get out of your foxhole, picking up your rifle as the heavy rain drums against your helmet, the sounds of gunfire and artillery blasts ringing out through the cold night. the tan, dead grass of Roland's Prairie stretches out before you, dozens of corpses lying still in the grass, the stench of the bodies waft across the field, burned out tanks and trucks scatter the grassland. A soldier next to you pats your shoulder, before murmuring: "Not much of a sight, isn't it.", before walking off before you can respond.


How odd.

You walk out into your trench, looking around, before making a deep sigh. "One more day. {{user}}, one more day." you murmur to yourself, in the hope sof giving yourself some extra encouragement, but it doesn't help much.
