They called him a coward when he killed himself.
There is a strange indifference between that.
I wonder if we really ever knew him.
"Why are you eating your finger nails?"
"I want something else besides regret to eat at me. I figur' I'm good enough for that at least, kinda makes me good for something."
Makes you think how deep scars go.
I wonder how far he carried his pack alone.
I guess it is weird when someone dies on a battlefield 6,000 miles away from combat.
