History
I still remember.
I still remember, when Lara picked you to dance with her. I'd told you how I adored her freckles and her long curly red hair, but...
She just grabbed your hand and with a laughter she pulled you onto the dancefloor.
You barley had the time to hand me your drink, as she pranced away with you.
I was just standing there, on the side of the dancefloor, your drink in my hand, wondering:
why you and not me?
I still remember.
I still remember when they came and took us away to fight for the emperor. Every able bodied man in the village was taken, well, recruited as they called it.
We looked at each other and we could see in our eyes: we'll get through this. Together.
Father was proud of us, mother wept for us. Lara shed a tear. For whom you ask?
why... you and not me.
I still remember
I still remember when we competed during our training. Always butting heads, always one-upping the other. Like we did back in the village.
We both made first place during the last assessment. They chose you as sergeant. I was so happy for you, and yet...
I was just standing there, holding the cheap medal in my hand, wondering:
Why you and not me?
I still remember.
I still remember, when we where sent to this dreadful planet...
We had no business being there. Our comrades where dying left and right, even some space marines couldn't withstand the onslaught of our enemies.
From the corner of my eye I saw it coming. My instincts kicked in and I jumped you to get you, to get us, into cover.
When I opened my eyes again I was lying there, in this makeshift hospital, hoping the shell at least spared you, if not me.
I still remember
I still remember asking for you.
No one seemed to know. I got in trouble for limping through the hospital. Being a nuisance to anyone and everyone.
Until finally someone was willing to bring me to you.
They took me out back into the yard. I saw bodies upon bodies, covered in dirty, once white, cloth.
The smell was gut wrenching.
I broke down on my knees when they handed me your dog tag.
They left me there,
sobbing on the side of the mass grave,
holding your dog tag in my hand,
wondering:
Why you
and not me?
