You end up as that man in the peach dressing gown, baiting a cake at three o'clock in the morning.
Because that's all you hoped for in the last fleeting moment.
A life that wasn't heroic or amazing in any way, but a normal life.
Even as that bullet left that German gun, you began to choose.
Here we are again, making the choice.
But be careful.
You may end up as the sound of a scream that never ends.
He smiled.
Or you become one with the mud.
Dillinger looked at the man, his eyes no longer as milky as they were in that entryway, but youthful and full of excitement and fear for the world.
The same eyes Dillinger had when he left home for this forsaken place.
The eyes look the same because they are the same, were the same, and would always be the same.
But you don't get to have your cake and eat it, too.
Dillinger looked at the ladder.
The wood was splintered, slick with the blood of many men who had gone up before him, their bodies now on their way to being entombed in the mud.
"'If I stay down here,' Dillinger rasped, his voice sounding like dry parchment, "'who do I become?'
The soldier smiled, and for a second, he looked forty years yonder, but a thousand years more tired, the same way Dillinger felt most mornings.
I'm just here to show you the way.
He waved flamboyantly up and down the ladder.
As for what you become, stay and you don't become anything.
