As he ran up to see what was going on, several marines were already there standing around looking at a downed marine. Holiday rushed up to the scene and was stopped short in his tracks. There before him lay a man almost blown in half. He could see the man's spine and little else. He looked into the man's face, a young kid no older than he was himself.

It left him cold and numb--in shock. But Holiday found it fascinating to see life one second and then nothing the next.
