Synopsis/Details
Sergeant Louse and PFC Cootie run for their lives, their buddies falling left and right behind them, burned to a crisp by the laser-like jets of fire coming down from monstrous unseen beings who were thought to be urban legends. They find respite in the trenches but soon begin discussing their lives in “the colony” where PFC Cootie has found love and Sergeant Louse is tired but doesn’t want to retire because it’s a disrespectful death. But when another soldier reveals their hiding space, alerting the beasts, Sergeant Louse makes an unexpected move to set himself free forever, leaving PFC Cootie to his own devices.
