I
swept
my
head
from
left
to
right
.
I
ran
.
I
pulled
my
trigger
.
My
body
had
long
since
passed
exhaustion
,
but
a
part
of
me
maintained
a
heightened
sense
of
alertness
impossible
under
normal
circumstances
.
My
mind
was
a
conveyer
belt
sorting
good
apples
from
the
bad
-
any
piece
of
information
that
wasn
’
t
vital
to
survival
was
automatically
shut
out
.
I
saw
Rita
Vrataski
.
The
rumble
of
an
explosion
heralded
her
arrival
.
A
laser
-
guided
bomb
fell
from
a
plane
circling
overhead
,
far
out
of
reach
of
the
enemy
.
It
covered
the
distance
between
us
in
under
twenty
seconds
,
detonating
precisely
where
the
Valkyrie
had
called
it
down
.
Rita
was
headed
for
the
spot
the
bomb
had
struck
,
a
shattered
mix
of
debris
,
equal
parts
living
and
dead
.
Creatures
streamed
from
the
crater
toward
her
swinging
battle
axe
.

Even
in
the
midst
of
battle
,
seeing
Rita
’
s
red
Jacket
stirred
something
in
me
.
Her
mere
presence
had
breathed
new
life
into
our
broken
line
.
Her
skill
was
peerless
,
the
product
of
U
.
S
.
Special
Forces
’
efforts
to
make
a
soldier
to
end
all
soldiers
.
But
it
was
more
than
that
.
She
really
was
our
savior
.
Just
a
glimpse
of
her
Jacket
on
the
battlefield
would
drive
soldiers
to
give
another
ten
percent
,
even
if
they
didn
’
t
have
it
left
to
spare
.
I
’
m
sure
there
were
men
who
’
d
see
her
and
fall
in
love
,
like
a
man
and
a
woman
on
a
sinking
ship
spying
one
another
between
waves
.
Death
could
come
at
any
moment
on
the
battlefield
,
so
why
not
?
The
wise
guys
who
’
d
named
her
Full
Metal
Bitch
had
really
fished
around
for
that
one
.
I
didn
’
t
think
they
had
it
right
.
Or
maybe
I
was
starting
to
feel
something
for
Rita
Vrataski
myself
.
That
suited
me
fine
.
Trapped
in
this
fucking
loop
,
I
had
no
hope
of
falling
in
love
.
Even
if
I
found
someone
who
could
love
me
in
one
short
day
,
she
’
d
be
gone
the
next
.
The
loop
robbed
me
of
every
moment
I
spent
with
someone
.

Rita
had
saved
me
once
,
long
ago
.
She
had
kept
me
calm
with
her
random
talk
of
green
tea
.
She
had
told
me
she
’
d
stay
with
me
until
I
died
.
What
better
target
for
my
unrequited
love
than
our
savior
herself
?
My
OS
continued
to
respond
automatically
,
despite
the
distraction
my
emotions
were
giving
it
.
My
body
twisted
.
I
planted
a
foot
on
the
ground
.
I
didn
’
t
have
to
think
about
the
battle
unfolding
before
my
eyes
.
Thought
only
got
in
the
way
.
Deciding
which
way
to
move
,
and
how
,
were
things
you
did
in
training
.
If
you
paused
to
think
in
battle
,
Death
would
be
there
waiting
,
ready
to
swing
his
scythe
.
I
fought
on
.
