Error Correction and Analysis of 'Bayonet Charge'

Suddenly, he awoke and was running—raw in raw-seamed hot khaki, his sweat-heavy, down his face, sweating like a hot fish in a net. The patriotic tear that had brimmed in his eye, now dried, and he wondered if the shot of the rifle had struck the earth, or if the earth had struck him first. His heart pounded like a drum, pounding in his chest. He saw the sudden flash, the explosion that tore through the silent night, and he staggered forward, clutching his rifle tightly. The landscape around him was blurred, a mixture of dark shadows and burst of light, as he tried to make sense of the chaos. He felt the sting of dirt on his hands and the ache in his legs, driven forward by duty and fear alike.
