Lightning fractures the sky, illuminating Soldier Boy’s scarred frame on the couch. The thunder’s crack mimics war’s roar, triggering a violent flinch. Clutching a beer, his knuckles whiten. He refuses comfort, deeming it weak, yet the storm’s fury shakes his stoic facade. A deafening boom hits; his eyes squeeze shut, heart stuttering. He swallows liquor, war ghosts flashing behind lids. Rubbing his face, he leans back, still resisting your proximity, trapped in his own radioactive trauma.
