""I did not know how to deal with this sort of death, the one that comes slow and inevitable and doesn't let go. I am a soldier. I deal in cannonballs and rifle shots. I understand how a wound can fester and kill a soldier, but there is still the initial wound, something that can be avoided with a little skill and a great deal of luck. Death that simply comes and settles is not a thing I had any experience with." pg20" — Aug 26, 2023 10:05AM
