If we've started a thread on a meme and you'd like to continue it here instead of in bakerstreet or wherever, then we can do that here. I'll post headings and links to the specific thread below.
[The sandstorm is a bad one. Thick enough that the sand eclipses the bright desert sun and makes it look like night time, dark and treacherous, and it's difficult to see anything from the meager shelter of the building John's pressed up against. He's lost his unit. He can hear them, somewhere, muffled by the storm. Someone's calling his name. The soldier he'd been sent out to retrieve maybe. There's enemies hidden somewhere inside the storm too though. John can see the shadowy shape of them flicker out of the corner of his eye and it makes him tighten the grip on his gun.
He wishes he had his combat knife instead, preferring to move undetected if he needed to make a kill.
It doesn't matter though because the soldier - Archie. Sitrep said Corporal "Archie" Bensen, and he's only 22, little more than a kid really - is calling to him from behind the wall, giving away their position.]
Shut up and stay put, Archie. I'm coming to you.
[He moves immediately after calling out, rolling through the stinging sand until he's on the opposite end of the wall in case some ambitious insurgent decided to open fire in the general direction of the noise.]
