Atlas
“In my rifle's scope, I kept an eye on the building Facehopper was leading his fire team into. I was on overwatch position on the third floor of an apartment across the street. I lay by the window, on an upturned nightstand. I'd put a bedroll from an adjacent room on top, making the setup semi-comfortable.

T...wo- or three-story apartments stood at every street corner. A towering statue of Buddha covered in a green patina dominated the center of town; the statue had one palm upraised as if it were trying to stop the war that swept the country.
