My name is Nathan and I've just died.
I was sixteen years old when in battle, I came too near to the unionist whereupon he thrust his bayonet through me. The last thing I could remember were my hands, warm blood and bowels between them, and David's screams.
He called my name.
The smell was terrible, but only for a short time.
I do not know how long he held me in his arms until I died.

Now I see him, from above, how he is holding my corpse, touching the blood as if he wanted to make sure I had really died. Yes, I am dead. Standing beside him is James, he has taken off his cap like they do at funerals.

Am I sad? No, not really. My time is over. But I will wait for him.

I have learned everything about the Civil War a few weeks ago in History class, it's funny that you draw this now, it helps me revise my lesson for the exam. ^^;

Great pic, very emotional... Have you written the text yourself ? It suits the pic really well.
