Evident Fear (Nick Arvin Articles of War 40.)


GI's in the truck silent (38)
Looking out at (39)
Bodies mauled, disemboueled, torn into pieces, rotting and swelling. (40)
Are you afraid? (43)
In the darkness. (46)
Sparadic rifle shots and rattling of machine guns firing. (46)
His heart hammering. (47)
Jumpy fearful thoughts. (47)
Artillery shells crashing into buildings. (47-48)
The noise was horrendous. (48)
Fear returned and consumed all other thoughts. (48)
All around him the earth lay ripped, blasted and savaged. (49)
The howling ceased (49)
Everything was silent. (49)
