Bullets pierced he skin of a soldier next to Jim. He looked as the wounded soldier fell to the ground, wailing in pain as his final breaths left his body. Jim looked as 4 enemies were pumping bullets into his makeshit barricade. He drew his batterd weapon and open fire. His bullets struck one enemy directly in the chest. Blood spilled from his wound as his corpse fell to the hard earth. Jim hurled his last grenade in a desperate attempt to hold his position. The grenade exploded and the enemy soldiers were showered with derbis.

Jim could see more enemy reinforcements approaching from the horizon. Jim searched his fallen comrade for some sort of explosive. He foudn one. Jim held the grenade tightly in his hand. At that moment, 4 enemy bullet plunged into his legs and chest. As he was dying he threw himself into the enemy forces and detonated his grenade.

In his last moments he saw his grenade detonate, but it was not a explosion that he saw.

No, it was smoke that poured from his grenade.
