Chapter 1: Blackout
(Santana's POV)
There's something I wanna tell you.
After I got shot, you wanna know the very first thing that entered my mind, before I blacked out?
Coins.
I'm 8 years old again on a tour of the U.S. Mint.
I'm listening to a guide explain how coins are made. How they're punched out of sheet metal. How they're rimmed and beveled. How they are stamped and cleaned. And how each and every batch of coins are personally examined just in case any have slipped through with the slightest imperfection.
That's what popped into my head.
I am a coin in the United States Army.
I was minted in the year 1986. I've been punched from sheet metal.
I've been stamped and cleaned. My ridges have been rimmed and beveled. But now I have two small holes in me.
I'm no longer in perfect condition.
So there's something else I wanna tell you.
Right before everything went black, you wanna know the very last thing that entered my mind?
You.
