Forge ahead and continue with resilience as the soldier painstakingly decimates the opposing brigade.
Boots and protective helmets guard against any debris and are well-suited for the midst of combat, but as he bunkers down while the world spins out of control,
his eardrums and heart break.
A tear falls for the eternally still comrades.
--------------------------------------------------------
Emerge into a newfound utopia, step into resolution. Breaking free from the cacophony of the firing squads, free from PTSD, the old is gone; metamorphosis- a pause in life and then resurgence. Leaving behind the cracked facade, he sees the firm house on the hill come out from its ruins. Every Spring, Virginia's battlefield grows greener.

A Minute's Difference
It was a Tuesday, 2:58...59 in the afternoon. My friend Andy was white-knuckled gripping the edge of his school desk, staring desperately at the second hand of the clock slooowly circling round, while our teacher droned on and on. A girl behind me cracked her gum. Another classmate was fervently scribbling notes. I was trying to look just awake enough not to get called on. Wrapped in my grey hoodie, eyes drooping behind uncut bangs, head leaning on folded arms, I appeared the cliche of a bored teenage boy, on the verge of daydreaming his way into a more exciting life.
