DOG OF WAR
He had clean hands, once. Bright eyes, full of hope and faith and patriotism. Things changed. Eliot went to war. Got wounded, tortured. Killed people. He stopped caring, the world turned red. He didn't care who he killed, didn't care if he got hurt. And then he found Nate and the team. Slowly, he changed. He began to wonder if maybe he could be that bright-eyed boy again.
He woke up every day hoping to see that hopeful child in the mirror again.
Nothing is more wretched than the mind of a man conscious of guilt.
