Key in a locked drawer

ebook
2rd place winner of the Pioneer Library System (Oklahoma) - Norman Central's 2015 Just the Write Story Contest. Introduction: Breathe in, breathe out, nice and slow, stay calm. The bombardment continues overhead, the hundreds of shells creating a cacophony of concussive sound that seemed to fill up everything, leaving no room for anything other than this cascade of shells and the noise, the never-ending sound. Some go crazy when first exposed. Some cry, or run, or weep. A seldom few can do something inside, turn a lock on their feelings and settle in for the long haul. War is not child’s play. Anyone who’s been on a battlefield knows this.
