E N D
Chapter 1: H20.Water..All I can think about is water...I’ve been here--trapped--stuck in No man’s land for what seems like 3 years, even if it has been only 3 hours. The bombs have hit so close I don’t even hear them anymore. My own heart seems louder. Thub-dub. Thub-dub.My tongue is swollen and it feels as if I’m carrying a pinecone in my mouth, scraping against the insides of my cheeks. The fetid pool of water collecting in the puddles is starting to look pretty good.Drink the waterWait for help
As soon as your lips touch the water, you know you’ve made a terrible, horrible, excruciatingly stupid mistake. The water is chock full of cholera, e coli, and other nasty diseases. Even after your friends find you and cart you back to the trenches, your insides become outsides and you no longer care much about who wins what.The EndDo you want to play again?
Who’s there?Grudgingly, you decide that the water would make you very, very sick. And that you might indeed be rescued. Kat has a 6th sense about finding food. Maybe he could pretend you are a kettle of beans with a hunk of bacon. Just the thought of beans and bacon makes your eyes water.Hello! Hello! you hear. You stifle a cry. Hello! Anyone out here? Youユre suspicious. Those could be French soldiers pretending to be Germans. Still, would it be so terrible to be taken by the French? At least they would give you water. Wouldn’t they?Call out to the voicesStay silent
