Day 37
98 more days left
The horizon darkens
I emerge from my tent
Throat burning
Wounds still open
Scars still shown
Can I get a light?
Flashbacks of silver streaks
Piercing through my mind
Fallen companions
Doesn't stop anyone
Night terrors
Whirling around
A close shave
Leaves a bloodied path
For everyone to see
Safe for a week
Then back at it
Safe for a month
Then back at it
Three more years
Safe for a lifetime
