here's the thing:

I submitted this story to a contest a while ago, and it didn't win. I was kind of offended. The feedback said it was too disjointed, and I should give readers a little more to work off. In my opinions, readers should be able to pick this kind of stuff up! Honestly. 

Warnings: it's someone getting brainwashed into being a soldier and doing some good ol' murder so... yep. 

This story is... two years old? Three? But I still like it.
