It's nice to have another person like the story.
-------------------------------------------------------
The gun jolted against Matt's shoulder as it fired. One down.. Two down.. Three down.. Matt had counted his kills every clip. Empty. He looked down at the dirt where he had been leaving ammo clips. Only one clip left of 5.56 ammo. Better make this last, he thought to himself. He slowly picked up the clip. He pressed the small button right above the trigger area, and the empty clip fell right out. He brought the filled clip to the gun. It felt a little heavy, considering the moment he was in.
He popped the clip in, and reached for the lever at the side of the gun. He wrapped his hand around and pulled back. The gun was loaded, but he didn't know if he wanted to kill any more people. Well, they WERE people, the Super Mutants. He didn't want people to kill or hate or anything like that, but this was the Wasteland. The Wasteland was harsh. But then he imagined what those Mutants could've done to so many innicent people. Torture, massacre.. It made him feel a bit sick, but the truth hurts.
Matt wouldn't spare any of their pathetic lives. He stood up and began firing at any Super Mutant he could find. One, two, three, four, he counted. Super Mutants had no skill, all muscle no brain. The gun fired loudly. The sound echoed throughout Matt's mind. A Super Mutant with a super sledge charged towards Matt. Too easy, Matt thought. He squeezed the trigger. Instead of seeing a Mutant's head explode, no bullets came out. He forgot. That was his last clip. "Oh [censored]." Matt said to himself. The Super Mutant swung the sledge across.
Everything seemed to go in slow motion. The sledge neared Matt. And it hit. When it hit, the sound was a mix of a 'crack' and a 'smack'. It was as if the hammer hit Matt's entire body, because when it did hit, Matt flew back yards like a ragdoll. The last thing Matt saw before he hit the ground was the sky. A clear blue sky, no clouds, the sun shining its brightest in a long time. The perfect day for a walk, or to jog. A perfect, cloudless, sunny day.
But then everything became a tunnel-vision. The sky seemed to go on further away. As if Matt fell through the ground into complete nothingness, complete blackness. Ant then he hit the ground. And everything went black. No sun. No sky. Matt could've been dead. He probably was, with the hit he took to the head.
Things became clearer, then. Standing in front of him was a child. A familiar face. Fredrick. But it was Fredrick as a child. Matt was in a dream. "Come on! Let's go play!" He said joyfully. Fredrick was wearing a baseball cap and some decent looking clothes. Matt followed along. The day was perfect. Green grass, healthy trees, blue sky, bright sun. Their houses were dream homes. Perfect condition.
Fredrick stopped at a large field, and picked up a baseball bat. He tossed a baseball and a baseball glove to Matt. "Here! You pitch!" Fredrick told. Fredrick ran back a few yards and got in a position ready to swing. Matt dressed his hand with the glove and dropped the baseball in. He then tossed the ball with good force. Fredrick hit the ball and it went flying out of sight. Matt dropped the glove. He walked off to see where the ball was. As he walked, he saw planes fly overhead.They dropped something. Seconds ahead, there was a blinding light, and a loud explosion.
