 I opened my eyes and saw a doctor in front of me, he stretched my arm and asked if I was feeling better, gaining some conscience I finally came to my senses, now I could see moving objects in front of me. My arm and my leg were covered by plasters, and there was a bandage on my forehead, "Congratulations Mark, you finally recovered from the injuries of yours, now you can relax for a few hours, just close your eyes," the doctor said smiled and left the room. For hours, questions kept on flowing in my mind about things. Things that might have happened and how long had I been here? and the doctor came back, "Mark! here is a guest to meet you," said the doctor and led Lieutinent Adam inside my room. He looked perfectly fine, it felt like he survived that day. Coming forth towards me he sat on a chair near my head and gave a smile, "How are you slick? it's been a year and a half since you were laid here, sorry to see your half flesh had burnt, but you would hav...

 Everything is fair in love and war. This was going to be true today. The morning began with spotting some jets approaching us when general luke was being informed of the upcoming attack. And the bombs fell on the cabin blowing it up into nothing. And the shouting began, our soldiers held their guns took their positions, and got ready to attack. This was something we did not expect but it was indeed not the Japanese army but the Britishers and they were planning this attack for us. "It's a trap, beware! it's a trap!" the word was echoing in the base into every other ear including mine and we weren't prepared for what can happen next and another blast. And then one more blast from somewhere. We could see their men approaching us till now and all we could do was help each other stand. Burnt faces were in front of me, men bleeding, their corpse laid on the ground, it was a horrific episode to see, and I got to see Adam firing at someone, their army had entered our zo...

 I spent my new year in the bunker all alone. I didn't know where the clone was, and the thought that those idiots up there would destroy him was disturbing me. After a few hours, a corporal came and was giving me a scarred eye. He passed a plate filled with a loaf of bread and some milk. It was my new year's feast, and I enjoyed it. But the thought that I was about to face my widowed mother and little sister was killing me deep inside. And then came Adam. "Happy new year slick! how's the feast for you?" he came with a smirk. "Please sir, I want to talk to general, I have really really urgent things to say!" I said, "Don't expect anything from me, you should have thought about consequences before committing that sin, and yes, slapping me is a sin!" he said, "I agree sir, I made a mistake, a big mistake, but this is no joke, I have something that can help us, it can make us double powerful," I said, "Double power leads to dama...

 Holding me by my neck they threw me on the floor. My back banged against a wall, but I couldn't see anything for they covered my head with a black cloth mask. The two Japanese soldiers who brought me here uttered something in Japanese with each other when one of them spat on me. I was disgusted by this act of theirs, no mercy to the enemy at all. And then the other one pulled me forth holding my collar, and said in broken English, "you must die tonight, and all your men with you," when a bullet killed him, and the other soldier too got killed by another bullet before he could grab his gun. It was Lieutenant Adam who shot these bullets. "Let's not wait for the grass to grow idiot! get up Mark and hold yourself up somewhere," said Adam shouting at me. "How did you all get here sir?" I asked Adam, and he said, "You are another fucking idiot Mark! how did you think that we would send you all alone, Luke, sent me and some other men in here, now ge...

 "In search of Double power, sometimes we lose our half." said retired Corporal Bill Mark. 72-year-old Mark's right leg had been not in function along with his right arm. His face, half burnt from the right side with his eyes gone red giving him a monster look to carry. "Don't be scared dear, I have now learned to live with it," said Mark to the interviewer and her team, who might have been frightened to see the half-dead old man going live on television tonight. "They say, losing or winning doesn't matter, but in our case it did." he continued. "The story begins 51 years ago, the year 2031, the British and Japanese army were together for the first time in history. Heading towards our territory they had blown up the Russian base weeks ago, and now were in an attempt to take over our American base. But let me tell you where it starts. The American and Japanese governments signed a pact in the same year it was broken. The pact said that the ...
