The soldier is walking around the streets of Iraq

looking for the rest of his crew.

He can hear his own heartbeat

he was paranoid an enemy would attack him while he was on his own. 

His hands are glued to his rifle.

 

The bright, steaming sun is burning up his skin. 

All of his gear on made it harder for him to walk. 

With on more water in his bottle, 

he collapses to the ground faster than a heavy brick being thrown to the ground. 

 

The soldiers spot him. 

They ran to him faster than Roadrunner in the cartoon, "Looney Tunes"

They pick him up like a ragdoll rushing him to the chopper. 

 

All the soldiers get in the chopper as if Arnold Schwarzenegger said, "Get to the chopper!" in the movie "Predator".
