I am under the orders of General Winfield Scott to meet and escort a secret shipment of newly-minted gold coins from Richmond to the Potomac River. The last thing I remember before the lightening struck me was picking up the strange coin. I am now inside a smoke-filled chamber with Lieutenant Alderson's severed forearm at my feet. In a moment, I will step into either heaven or hell. This is not as I expected death to be. May God have mercy on my soul.
