One

Song belongs to Metallica and Dalton Trumbo, story belongs to me.

{This story is MATURE CONTENT, with scenes of war violence, mild language and a very powerful tone. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.}

Dawn of WAR
It was a couple days within WWI, as many of the U.S. frontlines are trying their best to end the horrors of the war. Except for one of those men, that is. Clyde Golt, a rookie at the time, never knew the horrors of the war, but only for his eyes to see the copters roll around to bomb the nearing area. Within that area, Clyde stands on his ground, waiting for the device to explode near him. It was very fortunate for him to live, only for him to lose his eyes, arms, legs, nose, and mouth in the process, as the areas are bleeding out the pain that had held him to death.

Within the hospital
As Clyde was taken into the nearbye hospital in Maryland, doctors are worried that he may or may not be living anymore, due to the colateral damage the bomb had taken on him. From that, they placed him as a 5- time amputee within a lobby for wounded soldiers. If they asked him what happened, he only replied in Morse:

_._..._..._.. __., .__.._...._.... (Kill Me, Please...)

As the doctors were shocked to hear his response, he only repeated his hellish line, to plead to the doctors that held his bound by force. Within days, he kept on doing it... to no end...

Lyrics of "One"
I can't remember anything Can't tell if this is true or dream Deep down inside I feel to scream This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me I'm waking up, I cannot see That there is not much left of me Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, wake me

Back in the womb it's much too real In pumps life that I must feel But can't look forward to reveal Look to the time when I'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me Just like a wartime novelty Tied to machines that make me be Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, wake me

Now the world is gone, I'm just one Oh God help me

Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, help me

Darkness imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die

Trapped in myself Body my holding cell Landmine has taken my sight

Taken my speech Taken my hearing Taken my arms Taken my legs Taken my soul

Left me with life in hell.
