Submitted to Contest #3 in response to the prompt: 'Your character wakes up in a different world. What do they do?'

I suddenly woke up early in the morning and was in a place recognized by me it's a war zone after a gun shot continually firing. Heard a jet flight with doom sounds and rushed into firing terrains. Shouts and screams of war zone boys made me anxious and alert. Completely i was blank about my appearance in this zone. How it happened and within 7 hours far from South came to this war terrain was a mind boggling matter. I slept on my bed on building terrace. Again bombing and some soldiers rushed into my place and I tried to escape. And entreated them and said that I don't know how I came here, in a low voice.
They calmed and picked me to their safest place near the borrows which was hidden among wild pasture grass. These soldiers were ten in number in the same regiment who were struck in enemy's land. Now they should have to come back to their motherland terrain and join their country soldiers. It's nearly 300mtrs. I am also with them as the eleventh one. As we run together towards our terrain in-between guns firings and shell explosions. Gun fire bullets went through one of our soldiers and tumbled down with screams. Suddenly from the other side a bombshell exploded to the side of our team. Two people with brutal injuries get downed. Then everybody lay down on the ground to avoid explosives hit. We were still hearing injured and almost near to death guys screams. I thought about how his family reacts towards it and how they will bear. If they had kids and what would be their future ? The commander was giving instructions to our moves to avoid bullet hits. Far from our terrain some of our soldiers gesturing us come slowly and securely.
A Solider sinha who was beside me said take deep breath, calm and conscious. Pricking sun and piercing stones taught life in the battle ground. One of our soldiers targeted opposite terrain soldiers who were ignoring their surroundings. Immediately our commander stopped his over enthusiasm. Otherwise it would lead to one more overcome target. We just sneaked and crossed 100 meters. As we were moving we heard the sound of the flying motor approaching us. The enemy's drone appeared on top of us and was scanning. The commander shouted that it would throw a bomb and beware of it. It threw two bombs one by one on us. We split and rollover as two groups aside. One group fell into the burrow and the other was on the land. Drone was chasing and targeted the group which was on the land. Fortunately I was with the group who were in the burrow. Drone threw one more bomb on the other group again. We heard their shouts and their sneaky rollings on the ground. But we couldn't see them because it may lead to chasing us. Then our soldier shot that drone and took a look at the other group.Two of their legs were badly injured and left their hand guns. Now six were in safe out of ten.
I ran through the burrow until it ended along with other soldiers. We were almost reached and might be 100 meters leftover.The commander shouted that it's only 100 meters to be reached. The other group were still at the previous place. Now it's the time we should come out from the burrow. Previous drone made surrounding enemies alert and continuously shooting were pouring. A sleeky sneaky shot pierced our one more soldier's flank and became lifeless. Everyone was bent down and panting leaned against the burrow walls. Some of them had watery eyes but the commander was very strong and had fierceful eyes.

The commander got surgery in his stomach recently. He struggled a lot in these sneaky moves at war. Strong and sturdy soldiers were very agile at the field.They were inspired themselves against the live odds. A missile shattered sound shocked me but alerted soldiers. It was very close to us. Then we peeped outside of the burrow. The bad news was that our bunker which was close get destroyed and persons were dead. The value of hope taught me in this situation. Peace,hope, patience, strength etc became value and important to me more and more. We were in a confused state about how to come out from this burrow.

At war zone measurements are prominent. Every inch movement should be precise but not in a hurry bury or careless. Nearly 10 meters far a ruin tanker was there and determined we should take shelter behind that. So we four people moved there after 2 hours waiting in the burrow. It's nearly mid noon 1 PM. The soldier told us a break was there for lunch. I was surprised at his word lunch break and it was also namaz time for opposite terrain people. So a short term ceasefire appeared but the chance would be there some guys might violet the rules at some times.

This was the chance for us to run quickly into our mother terrain but at the cost of four lives. We were reached and smiled looking at each other.Here we reached only three people and our commander was killed by a sniper shot by a ceasefire violated soldier. He was fallen and dead behind us.
Sound of water gushing sound approached me and became louder. Light flashes were on my eyes and my body sensed heat from outside. Forcefully opened my eyes then I was on my terrace close to water tank. It was a dream early morning. Last two days i was watching various war videos and soldier interviews. So that it made a dream in my sleep.
