“Where Have You Gone, Charming Billy?” Narrative

I am a first time marine registered in the army. I am currently in Vietnam war. I am not going to lie I am afraid but I can not say that out loud. When I am at war I try to think that I am somewhere else and not in war. That is a way to get rid of my fear. I just saw one of my own men have a heart attack. I am beginning to get freaked out. I am exhausted because I have not slept and I am beginning to close my eyes. It is wet and i am walking in mud paddies. I close my eyes and the man next to me talks and I don't hear him until he says are you sleeping and I say no Sr. I am awake. Toward the end my chest begins to beat faster and I am feel like I am going to pass out. I began to panache and I say I am having a heart attack. And I notice I am there and I go on and That is it.
