Day and night, Joey stands in silent vigil over the bodies of Topthorn and Friedrich.
He probably would have stood there forever were it not for something coming through the woods that really frightens him: a tank.
And Joey runs. He runs so far away. He just runs. He runs all night and day. But he can't get away... from war.
He finds temporary reprieve in a small wooded oasis, complete with lush green meadow and clear drinking water. The only thing missing is a flock of seagulls.
But when he wakes up, he's surrounded by gunfire and explosions on all sides. He runs again, only to get caught up in a barbed wire fence.
The barbs (Walters and Streisand, maybe?) tear into his leg as he wriggles out.
Eventually, the damage from the barbs is too great, and Joey can no longer move. He rests his bleeding leg on a mound of mud and waits for the fog of war to clear.
When it does, he finds himself back in the middle of no man's land.

In chapter 15 Joey remembered about the death of Topthorn and Friedrich. He started to notice a very large tan, he was scared and frightened. Then he started to run away without help nor someone.
when he opens his eyes wide he saw horrid things like: everything full of explosions and gunfire.
Then he catches himself with wire and it is very painful he is so damaged that he can barely move, he lays down and rests. Then he is in the middle of no mans land.
