Soldier’s Death

Oh. It's you. The wife and kids told me I'd meet my death if I went and here you are! Well, how did I do it? Did my head eat a bullet on the battlefield? Was I taken prisoner and tortured for answers I didn't have? Did I die honorably? Whatever, that's not important. Just... do me one favor- give my wife a sign. Show her where I hid my savings. It's buried in my dad's grave. Don't let my children go through misery just because I had to seek it out. Thank you.

I'm exhausted, let's get this done.
