... Death Of A Soldier
Nobody could have guessed that he had done it.
Finally he was freed of the mortal pain. But the stinging wounds he had longed for to disappear were still there.
He fell on his knees. Vision blurry and hands shaking...
All the people he had killed. Soldiers, women, children... They were haunting him... Calling him over. Trying to seduce his mingled soul into the depths of the dead.
His eyes closed and opened again...
Every time he had closed his eyes, he had seen the eyes of the guilty and the innocent. That haunted look in their eyes, accepting their death, but still afraid. He felt sorry for them. Their souls forever trapped in the dark depths of hell and pain. Because he killed them. Because they hadn't died peacefully.
He too would die. And share the pain he had helped to create.
While his body became numb and started to fall apart, emotional pain consumed his mind.
Every night he had cried. When the others couldn't hear him, he cried for the helpless he had destroyed. He cried for his friends that he knew would die soon. He cried for the world because it was being stupid and resentfull towards people.
Only one person had known who he really was, what he really thought. And that person was dead. Soon, very soon, he would see that man again. The man who had caused him pain and happiness at the same time.
It was confusing. But now the confusion left his body and mind.
A single tear slipped from his eye, down his cheek. It shattered on the floor, the minuscule waterdrops ready to vanish. His body began to jerk and spasm...
Souls whirled around him. Inviting him. Longing for him.
His own soul accepted the invitation, smiling, laughing. Happy. Glad to be finally freed of his mortal prison. For one last time he opened his eyes. And smiled a real smile. Then his body collapsed. Tired of carrying a soul that had seen so much more than a normal boy his age should have seen.
A last breath, one more move through his body and then he disappeared...
