Devotion,Deception,Death

We have finished our book!! The end was devastating but appropriate, Charlie was executed for disobeying an order that took many of his friends life to spare his brother's. Tommo had been trying to escape when he had been wounded. He had fallen silently to the ground telling himself he was dieing and he was okay with it, when he blacked out completely. Tommo awoke to a mouthful of dirt, at first relieved to be alive and then another in full panic, he had been buried, alive. Just when he believed it was about to get better it got worse. He was suffocating and he couldn't dig himself out in time. When he had backed out a bomb had been dropped near by and had crushed him completely he was wake and at least three feat under rubble. He knew it was over when he felt a strong hand grip his leg. It was charlie and him and a couple more of the troops dug him out and Charlie was already making jokes, but he wasn't laughing completely at Charlie. Sergeant Horrible Hanley had showed up sometime in between being dug out and totally clicking in to the scene, he was giving orders as always, but this time he was ordering them to try to get back to the base. At first nobody moved, but as horrible hanley had said if they disobeyed his order their would be life threatening consequences, and all knowing the real life threatenign danger was the order they all stood to take charge. All but one, Charlie had still been refusing the order and would take the consequences (knowing how bad they would be). So he heard horrible hanley tell the troops to move out and as they did Charlie gave himself a death scentence with a horrible judge and no survivors that weren't in base camps to defend him in court Horrible Hanley was proud as he left the court knowing that he put a private he'd always hated put to death for saving the life of his brother. So Tommy was alive, Charlie had stayed with him and nursed him back to well enough health overnight, to make their way back to the camp at sunrise to have charlie handcuffed and shipped off immediately after their return. The last things that Chaarlie said would sink in soon, he had asked tommy to take care of his family and that  of his newborn baby born by the name of Tommo Jr. the day after Charlie was convicted and put on death row, he had told the truth in court and the only person they hear was Sergeant Horrible Hanley who died in the line of duty the day after. Too late for Charlie, Tommie thought as he sat next to his brother and said his final goodbyes. It was his fault and as he left the prison he dreaded the 6:00 wake up call to his brother;'s life in the ground and that was how it happened. He was sitting next t Annna's barn as the final shot rang out.
