It's Esme! This is My very first work posted, I'm so excited and I hope you enjoy this!","content":"_Keep running, if you stop you die._ I think even as my lungs, heart, and legs are feeling like they're engulfed in flames. I trip on a root that was sticking out of the ground and face plant into the dirt trail. \"Damn it,\" I mutter, \"Well, I might as well take a short break to recover.\" I pick myself up off the ground and brush off my camo. I study the surrounding woods and decide to head off the trail seeing that the underbrush is dense. \"Frost! Can you hear me Frost?!\" I throw myself into the underbrush and go prone before I remember my earpiece. \"Yeah, I'm here,\" I sigh with relief, \"You nearly gave me a heart attack there.\" \"Sorry. What is your team's status? Have you completed the objective?\" \"Negative, my team is all dead. I am the only one left.\" \"Are near the E-vac?\" \"Negative, I'm about 20 klicks in the opposite direction. I thought you were tracking my location.\" \"Sorry, we are. I forgot; anyways, we will send in a team to help you with E-vac. Just lie low at your current position.\" \"Okay, got it. Frost out.\" I almost dance with joy but restrain myself before doing so. Well, at least one good thing has happened. I set my gear out on the ground before me and take inventory. _Assault rifle, 20 full clips, Sniper rifle, 6 full clips, Shotgun, 50 rounds, 2 Pistols, 10 full clips for both, 2 Frags, 2 Flashes, some rations, some survival gear,_ I stop at the last item and smile. It is my custom made double-edged short sword. \"Now I can work with this,\" I say as I put my stuff back together. Once I have it organized again I lie down on the ground, \"A little sleep would be nice,\" I whisper as I close my eyes and let the darkness envelope me.\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Out Of the Frying Pan...","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/493200-out-of-the-frying-pan-part-2.json"}}
