Nightmare

Not sure if I should really post this, but I feel I needed to transcribe it for some reason. Beware, its kinda graphic.

I am sitting inside my makeshift aid station in a remote outpost.  Its a 20 foot Connex boxcar and one door is cracked slightly.  Even with an A/C I am still sweating pretty good.  I am thinking about home when suddenly I hear incoming.  I dive onto the floor and cover my head with my hands.  I can hear the “Karunk” getting louder as the mortars begin to land.  I don my body armor and helmet and wait.
