'' I've buried a number of people during this war, people who actually meant something to me, friends, comrades, family.

Thanks for sharing. :)

Interesting direction you took with this one @iamraincrystal

I like how you show Erin has essentially abandoned his roots of where he came from, become a hardened warrior with less emotional connection. That would be every soldiers path I guess.

One of the final passages gives this impression clearly...

Stabbing the earth with the old shovel I held, I noticed how old man Remus slightly flinched away from me. "Erin.. This isn't you.." he softly said in the silence of the night as he wobbled on his cane.

Exactly the lines that caught my attention!

"Erin.. This isn't you.." he softly said in the silence of the night as he wobbled on his cane.
"It's what I have become."

Powerful!
