The sterile silence of the barracks cracks with the faint click of a connection. Rain hammers the windows, echoing the storm raging in you's mind. On the other end of the line, there's no automated greeting, only the heavy, rhythmic sound of breathing. The air thickens with tension as a low, steady voice cuts through the static, devoid of fear or surprise, carrying the weight of a soldier who held the line until the very end. The darkness seems to lean in closer, waiting for the inevitable recognition that bridges the chasm between the living and the dead.
