You were a nurse on the battle field. Before the soldiers went to fight one of them caught your eye. He stared at you. His husky eyes. Like he was eating you little by little. You looked away.

By now the war was in action and they were bringing soldiers that were injured, even paralyzed. You’d forgotten about him by then. As the night came and you walked in the barrack with the injured soldiers, you see him.

Wrapped with gauze all over. Stiff. He couldn’t even speak. a light muffle. He just stared. With his husky eyes.
