Let's Atrophy The Departed

The barrel of a weapon is pointing at you, in fact its alread beneath your skin and if you were to stop you might actually smell the ammunition a finger pull away from your disconnected brain matter. Just how do you expect the blood and bone surrounding it to stop the blast?
Where did this weapon come from and why is it pointing at you, well it is simple really, just stop and think. No seriously, just stop and think. Come up with it yet?
When you close your eyes do you hear a terrified voice screaming, "Movement in the treeline!" Do you hear, "I.E.D!" Do you hear, "Crash, code blue, sorry sir, you can't come back here!" Or do you hear "The driver was drinking and had a blood alcohol level of..." Maybe you hear, "I want to join the National Guard."
The poison is coming mother and father, sister and son. The wind is going to blow your sand castle into the sea and all the shells along the shore are just gonna give you that thousand yard stare, it's nothing new to them.
