A fictional biography of lieutenant Aya

Aya was a cynical poet and writer. She used sarcasm softly, and under the shadow of unhappiness, she partially created benign lumps of happy times to prolong its exitance.
Dramatically, instead of copying small joys and pleasures, she was pasted into the first gulf war between Iraq and Iran as an Army officer.
She passed through the most extensive tank combat of the war when the defeated Iranian army changed its tactics and swarmed the battlefield with intense long-distance shelling.
On another day of the eight-year war, Aya found herself amid sustained artillery fire aimed at a series of points along the Front line. The frantic Iranian' barrage attack was in the kill zone, intended to suppress the Iraqi movements and deny access across that line.
She was rhyming jocks made by her fertile imagination while sitting next to the soldier driver of the Soviet-made GAZ-66 truck leading the weapons convoy:
Two sparrows for his mother
Only one was singing,
Mom supposed in wonder
That the other
Was the composer
---
The cowardly reporter saw
Four dead on the street in a row
He said in the broadcast: wow
They safely slept on the road now

Once she finished her last verses, the driver soldier heard a monstrous sound coming towards their foreheads. He said in the hospital that he survived because "he saw the rocket and could throw himself out of the military truck driver's cabin that disappeared with lieutenant Aya".
Because the weapons convoy was loaded with bombs and flammable war materials, other trucks exploded, but there were no human casualties as the soldiers had more seconds to jump off.
Her body was never found, and the assumption was that officer Aya and her lead vehicle were smashed into pieces, scattered and mixed with the destroyed convoy' trucks. She was officially reported as Missing in Action-MIA.
However, what led Aya to such a fate is another story yet to be told.
