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.
That's the beauty of it.
You just stop.
The stage lights are off and everyone just goes home.
Dillinger, with a sharp-edged melancholy smothering him, looked from the obsidian shard to the once dead man's face.
The transition was settling in.
The appearance of youthful skin was beginning to sag into the jowls of the dead man from the hallway.
The once dead man propped the rifle against the trench wall, his hand now free to rummage in his breast pocket.
Dillinger looked on as hell seemed to be falling down around them.
Cigarette, said the once dead man, crumpled packet held out between the two men.
