In an abandoned building far from any human settlements, three men in black looking down at a wounded person.
"What wrong did I committed? I served this country and given up all my life to protect the people." Josh asked his three old friends as he use his hands to cover his gun shot wounds. His clear eyes were blurry for the first time in his life, not from the pain but from the betrayal by his very own sworn brothers.
The one-eyed man with a scar across his right eye reply "I'm sorry big brother, we don't have a choice. We all owned you our life but this must be done for the sake of a better future."
And a silent throughout the room. It's seems the other two agreed with him.
"Hahaha.. good. My good brothers, for twenty years we fought against the invaders and many of our comrades died to protect the country. And now five years later, you want me gone." Josh looked disappointed as he vent out his emotions. "I will not die by your hands.." And with the last strength he have he grabbed the knife on the floor and stabbed his own heart. Flashbacks of his time from a young homeless boy with no future, the invasion, joining the revolutionary and winning the war..
Josh fell on his back as he took his last breath.
The three mans looks at each other, pained from their actions as tears dripping down from their eyes. "I sorry. I'm sorry I'm sorry big brother. If we did not kill you, our families will not be spared." Trembling, they got down on their knees and begging for forgiveness. Banging their heads on the floor louder each time as if trying to kill themselves. But they all knew their caring brother were gone for good. The very brother that did not hesitate to jump in front bullets to save them. The brother that appeared steady even when the world were falling apart, shouldering all the burden for their country. He was a hero to everybody that fought in the bloody war.
Outside, dark clouds start gathering above the building. Forming a vortex as lighting swarm the clouds like a dragon awakening from it's slumber.
As if the heaven were enraged by the actions of the men, the sky screams and a bolt of lightning the size of a tree strikes the building , hitting Josh's cold body and destroying everything close by.
Surprised by the sudden attack, the three men screams "NO..!!!!!!"
Never in their dream did they expect to end up dying after all the struggles and plotting.
