2. th July 1863 during the Battle of the Gettysburg.

Aubrey ran with the rifle in his hands. Everywhere there was a real hell.

Aubrey was a young soldier in the North side.

He could not wait for this damn war to end.

He hiding behind the ruined building and breathing it.

Fire was heard, screams, the cries of smoke from the cannon could even be not know that it was a day.

Aubrey wore a blue suit with a blue cap and black boots. This outfit wore soldiers on the North side. He had a colt on his belt.

He picked up the gun and fired from the cover to the enemy soldier.

He saw shots from canyons and rifles. Some of soldiers were on horseback. One of the soldiers carried the Union flag, which now flew in hands of the rider. Aubrey heard screams of both sides.

Aubrey wondered if there was clean air.

"Fuck!" he swore when he nearly killed a cannon.

Somebody managed to fire the gunpowder at their habitat.

The other soldiers did it, it was best to shoot them out of the cloak.

Aubrey for a moment did not know what was happening because gunfire barels were lit. There was a great explosion accompanied by enemy fire.

"AAAAAEEERGGGHH!!!!!" Aubrey heard man's scream.

Aubrey took a moment to a recover.

He saw his friend in the middle of an explosion and was a badly injured.

He had burns, and he was bleeding because of a gunshot wound at his chest.

Aubrey got to him but it was too late. He was dying. His face blood and his body blooding. Heavy injury bleeding.

"James run away... run away from this hell," it was his last words.

Aubrey did not have the time to bury his friend, he listen to his last wish, and try to escape the battlefield. Bullets often flew at his head.

After he escaped the battlefield, he hid in the woods and his back leaned against tree.

Aubrey dropped his Winchester rifle, his coat, his cap (so that he could not be recognized as a dezerted soldier) and sat down beside the tree.

"To fuck!" He cursed when he discovered that he had a wounded hand,the wound bleeds, even if it had been hurts he has been to pull the bullet from his shoulder. Aubrey used a sleeve as a bandage.

The only weapon what remained at his hand was a colt.

The way to the nearest port lasted several days

After his rest he managed to get to the nearest port, he had his last pound in his pocket but he managed to get on a boat sailing to London.

He knew he would have to buy a new suit and somewhere to get a night's sleep so they did not know he is a fugitive soldier/deserter.

Aubrey did not end up in army with his decision, sent his fledged father there under his pseudonym to keep him in peace. Because he knew his son knew he was a thief.

She might be in London pretty. Aubrey thought during the voyage.

His left shoulder, he was still bound after shooting him.

Aubrey fell asleep quickly with the thoughts of what he was doing in London.

Maybe there will be more beautiful than he would have expected.
