Jack raced away from
the fizzling and foaming of a
chemical bomb lobbed at his fellow troopers, sending them scattering in
different directions.
He vaulted over a
ragged fencing into a barren field,
harboring a blister of hope
that his comrades were alive. The riptide
of emotions swept over him, just as he heard a “crunch” beneath
his left foot.
Oh, please God!
No! He whispered.
The land mine was
pressure activated and always fatal.
Jack’s mind raced through the possibilities and what equipment he
possessed.
Please, Jesus, make this work…If not, I’ll be kneeling
at Your Feet…
Jack fired a
grappling hook to the nearest tree and pushed the automatic retract
button. It pulled him up and out as the
IED exploded. He saw and heard the blast, but from the safety of
the tree.
With drops of blood
splattered on his uniform, Jack knew he had some injuries, but was saved, and had been in many ways.
