We lit that jungle on fire… and we burnt everything. And there he was, just standing there… not running, no pain, invisible… except for the napalm just sticking to him. Something I’ll never be able to explain.

     “Don’t sound so disappointed, you’ll give me a complex.” She scoops a long curtain of hair off her shoulder and affixes an expression to her face that might be a smile or mightn’t. They’re drinking the same thing, or the same genre at least, maybe his is more expensive although he doesn’t look it. “Good someone or bad someone?”

‘If those are the only options, I’ll go with good.’ They’ll get two more whiskies at Willard’s gesture. This is unfortunately not a smoking bar and his hands are a little restless. ‘I’m not disappointed to meet someone new. Far from it.’

It’s a long journey towards Ohio. The dread just rises up. It’s not much of a relief to pause on the way, but he can try to soften the situation a little. The glass is just warming in his hand, ice is melting. He’s wrapped up in his own thoughts, so much that he’s startled by the sight of long red hair whipping into view. His gaze catches hers, ‘sorry. Thought you were someone else for a second.’

     “Glinda.”      To his blank look she returns a pursed-lip smile.      “Glinda Gilbert.”      That look’s still blank, huh.      “Gary’s sister.”

‘Shit,’ he says, before he can stop himself, his thumb mashes against the keyboard of his phone and off dsfkgfdkgh goes to Joker. He shouldn’t be on break right now.

‘--It’s nice to meet you. Ben Willard.’ She must know that already.

bunburie:

     “Oh gosh, this is so fancy. Wow oh wow.” Glinda gives him a very gentle nudge in the side with her elbow, and when he turns to look at her she beams at him. “Show me your desk!”

‘It’s right here!’ He’s in the corner of the room, away from the window where it gets too hot and smells too much of smoke when people are out on the balcony. All of his pens are in colour order in their little pots. ‘I shouldn’t have this, but look, it’s you and Scout,’ the only photo on his jam-packed noticeboard, hidden beneath some papers.

“Hey, buddy, are you going to shut the door?”

“What are the charges?”

“There is no way to tell his story without telling my own, and if his story is really a confession then so is mine.”

“I’m not disposed to discuss those operations.”

“I’m unaware of any such activity or operation nor would I be disposed to discuss such an operation if it did in fact exist.”

“I thought we’d have lunch while we talk. I hope you brought a good appetite.”

“I don’t know how you feel about shrimp, but if you eat it, you’ll never have to prove your courage in any other way. ”

“I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That’s my dream. That’s my nightmare. Crawling, slithering along the edge of a straight razor, and surviving.”

“Every man has got a breaking point.”

“Terminate with extreme prejudice.”

“You understand that this mission does not exist, nor will it ever exist.”

“That wasn’t supposed to make any difference to me, but it did.”

“What the hell else was I going to do?”

“Every time I hear that, something terrible happens.”

“Don’t look at the camera.”

“I love the smell of napalm in the morning.”

“They were just looking for a way back home. Trouble is, I’ve been back there, and it just doesn’t exist any more.”

“You don’t want to go in there alone, not unless you really know the territory.”

“I didn’t come here for this!”

“I don’t want this goddamn fucking shit, man!”

“You can kiss my ass because I’m fucking bugging out!”

“This sure is a bizarre sight in the middle of this shit.”

“He’s really specialising in busting my balls.”

“I am beyond their timid, lying morality, and so I am beyond caring.”

“It was a way we had over here of living with ourselves. We’d cut them in half with a machine gun and give them a Band-Aid. It was a lie.”

“You don’t know how happy this makes me.”

“Fuck, man, this is better than Disneyland.”

“You can’t get us out of this mess because you don’t know where the hell you’re going.”

“Feel the vibe of this place.”

“Let me take your picture.”

“I used to think if I died in an evil place, then my soul wouldn’t be able to make it to heaven. But now I don’t care where it goes as long as it ain’t here.”

“It smells like slow death in here.”

“I know something you don’t know.”

“I thought that the minute I looked at him I’d know what to do. But it didn’t happen.”

“You have no right to call me a murderer.”

“Horror has a face and you must make a friend of horror.”

“I cried. I wept. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn’t know what I wanted to do.”

“I want to remember it. I never want to forget it.”

“There’s nothing that I detest more than the stench of lies.”

“We train young men to drop fire on people but their commanders won’t allow them to write ‘fuck’ on their airplanes because it’s obscene.”

“The horror, the horror.”

     “You could have told me that five minutes ago, potato.” She scoots forward, giving his chair a shove so she can get out. Once she’s out, after a lot of muttering and cursing, she throws her arms lazily in the air like a gymnast just after landing. “I like your socks.”

He lets himself be pushed away from his keyboard so he has an excuse for a break, ‘they were a Christmas present. You know, you’re almost making this place interesting.’
