[ Arnie was sitting on a bench before a loud sound that reminded him of a gun going off, made him jump.  Something always made him jump lately. He couldn’t sleep well, he wasn’t living life regularly without constantly seeing pictures in his head of everything they had lived through. It was funny, he often thought. The place that had saved him, had damaged him all the same.]  W- W- what .. W-h-what w.w.w. as th-th- that?

[sgtadkins]

Ya gonna do it no matter what I actually mean, dolly, I ain't gonna discuss it. You isn't? Well, I don't mean no offense but knock me down an' steal my teeth, Rox. I have been... runnin'. An' marchin'. An' assemblin'. There, I ain't say no w-word.
