The Last Breath Before the Whistle
The morning mist lay heavy over the trenches, a shroud of damp earth and despair. Men stood silent, huddled against the chill, faces etched with lines of fear and fatigue. The whistle had not yet blown, but its shrill call hung in the air, an unspoken promise of what was to come.
