on the previous page it says how the bushwacker is part of a force "flushing out" the village.

>none of it feels like it's actually happening
you're right. i meant to convey a feeling of physical distance and unrealness to the event, but when I go back to edit I think I'll make it a tad more emotional or visceral. Maybe pointing out how the sounds of shrieking children messed with the MC's ability to think clearly.
That was from early in the text, pic related is from later on in a dream sequence. MC has been experiencing PTSD whilst trying to adjust to his old village life he had left behind.
