Zero X Nine: The General

During the first month of my term on the planet, I had met an ex general from the great civil war battle on the planet X-Con. By the time I had met him he had bin breaking into his seventies, but he never looked like a seventy year old male.
He had always guided me threw the toughest decision that were laid upon me.
I took a great deal of admiration for the man. His leader ship had wowed me.
I never thought a man like this could ever exist.

But I guess some men with high leader ship sometimes lose there balance in life.

He once spoke about the horrors he had encountered in battle.
How he watched his men his friends die in vein, they had one wish in there hearts to come back home and be with there family.

I can tell that the man had carried there souls along with him for so many years.
No one could sit there and try to understand his pain. I don’t think anyone really cared.

If only if I listened to some what was left of sanity inside of me. Maybe!
