On either side of me are shattered windows and bodies, bleeding and thrashing, groaning and crying. A hand clutches at my sleeve. Anji, bleeding from a deep gash on the side of her head, pulls herself closer. “Help me,” she says in a rasping voice.
Within this dining car, amidst the spilled dumplings and overturned teacups and napkins that flutter like flags of surrender, some of the soldiers are pushing themselves to their knees, helping their brothers do the same. Others lie still and broken.
... I grab one of the napkins and press it to the side of Anji’s face. “Hold it there,” I say, hoarse and panting.
Someone grabs my hand. It’s Leye, his wide, friendly face a mask of pain. He’s lying next to me, with some of his comrades piled on top of his legs. “Are you all right?” he asks.
I do a quick inventory. My head hurts, but I am thinking, though not beyond the moment. My chest aches, but I can breathe, and my heart is beating fiercely. My ears are ringing as sharply as a shift whistle, but I heard what Leye asked.
