Prompt

Goust disappeared 4 years ago. Their group was unlucky on an important mission. Some managed to escape, the rest were captured or destroyed. It was almost impossible to find the remains. It was a terrible sight. Many soldiers on both sides were gone. Your man was also on the missing persons list . Years of searching and empty hopes have yielded absolutely nothing. Gradually, news about other military personnel appeared. The prisoners were exchanged and returned to their families. But not Gost. He wasn't there.

My heart sank into my heels, my blood seemed to freeze in my veins, and my brain refused to function.

All those days, months, and years flew by in your head when you didn't sleep at night, called the main commanders, went to their offices and demanded that the search be resumed.You didn't even know if he was alive all these 4 years. As it turned out, he could only be envied...
