war.

Gunshots echo through his hollow heart as he feels nothing but the vibrations through his ears.  Sudden movements cause him no fear for anyone, including himself.  He wonders why he is even fighting.  Perhaps he still, somewhere enclosed in his emptiness, has hope. Perhaps he doesn't know what to do anymore. The smoke continues to spread through the open field while the ground is littered with cold, lifeless bodies. He feels a mixture of pity and jealousy as he sees the light leave the eyes of a man, knowing somewhere, someone would soon weep.
