SNIPER COUNT

sniper counts his kills
tallies up the total
his heart beating with thrills
counting, heart racing when
he gets called to go outside the wire
jumps of joy for the chance to kill again
his spotter beside him in the vehicle
they get the breif on their way out
one shot is all you get one chance for the red mist was all that was said
heads nodded in understandment
to the out post of their destination the sniper puts in his head phones and
listens to the music he always listens to before the kills
head bobbing reading the lips of his spoter and then
finally head shot ally
red mist was all that he wanted to see once more
through the door of the hiding place
spotter gets ready sets  up his post
sniper lays down beside him
SHOT SHOT SHOT BLAM
in a split second one round fired casing ejected another round chambered
and
the RED MIST they both wanted to see happened
the enemies skull spit wide open
blood spattered all over the back wall
the sniper breaths in a long deep breath and
says what i do for a living i love
i am a sniper i kill
apon my judgment day i will say
i killed i lived but i saved my country from the enemies
the spotter says what is your count at now
i am at 136 just from today
all the counts will be added up once we get back home
the sniper gets up and
BLAM!!!!!
shot dead body limp
he spotter looks for any sign of where it came from
IT WAS A TRAP
will he get out alive wa will happen
no one really knows what happened
that night he did get out alive scared for life seeing his brother in arms get killed
he swore that he would count up all the kills and put it on his grave
that night he saw two red mist shots the snipers kill shot and the snipers own red mist
