Don’t lie: who among us doesn’t occasionally sit bolt upright in bed, drenched in sweat, eyes big as saucers? Our partner, lover, girl (or boy) picked up at the cheap bar down the street, and/or pet paws at us worriedly. “What is it?” they ask.
But how can we communicate the terror to them? They’d never understand. Only those who’ve actually been through the horror – and the subsequent political fallout – can truly know what it means to feel fear. Only those of us scarred by it can remember the shrieking, the blood, the frantic race back to the dropship, trained soldiers falling over each other in terror, in their desperate need to run, to flee, to get away…
