The days have passed before we expected, everything was prepared, but I was having a bad feeling about that, I thought that it would be because I have never been on a war field. Sadly the land mine failed but by the time we realized that we were already shooting. Every enemy soldier realized that we were there so they got out of the car with their machine guns, killing our men in the street. One of bullets that I and my friends shot hit the mine and the supplies truck exploded killing all the bad guys. We were amazed by the massive explosion and while I was watching one of my friend´s face, a bullet went through his head. Immediately I went into hiding and tried to warn my friends about the danger ahead but it was too late. I waited behind a wall for three hours thinking how fast our whole plan failed, by the time I got out of cover to try to see the sniper, he had already gone, so I moved to the next building planning to get back to base.
