Description

All I could hear was a distant ringing in my ears, the things around me nothing more than dimmed blurs of distant sound. Voices, there were voices; they were saying something but I could not hear them well and so I strained. I could not recall the events that had taken place earlier the day, it felt like I had a bad run in with the bottom of a bottle but then again I never was one with good recall abilities. I remember… the colour red. Just the colour red. The fuzziness in my mind began to make my head hurt as I tried to recall events and strain to listen to these voices speaking nearby. I clenched my teeth, my face scrunched I was sure as I concentrated harder.

"Will he be alright Doctor?"

"Yes. He will survive; the explosion didn't do much physical damage, but…" The doctor had paused in his words as if trying to figure out what to say next.

"He… He has become blind as a result."

Things went silent and for a moment I felt like there was a pair of eyes boring into my flesh. Who were they talking about? Surely it was some poor soldier caught between crossfire and deep down I hoped it was no one I knew. I continued to lay there pretending to be sleep as I strained my ears to listen harder as their voices dropped an octave.

"There is no possibility of his eye sight coming back. The blast completely scorched his retinas."

I couldn't help but pity the poor soul, to be unable to see the beauty in life; wasn't that a fate worse than death? I had always been an optimist so even in the throngs of war I still found beauty in the world when all others could see were the violent love makings of bullets and death.

"After today he can no longer serve in this army. He will be discharged and I've been informed that he will be taking the next flight back home, he is scheduled to depart on Friday. I am very sorry."

There was a long pause and I held my breath as I waited for them to slip with the soldier's name.

"I, understand doctor. I… I will tell Naruto."
