The Undead. The First Seven Days - Plot & Excerpts
The prisoner’s mattresses are thin and worn but have been doubled up to provide greater comfort. The blankets are rough wool, but the weather is hot and cover isn’t needed for warmth, only for comfort. Dave has been a tower of strength to me and has saved my life countless times but I am too caught up with all that is going on to thank him properly. I was fascinated though about why he is so quiet and immodest; why he does not boast about his fighting skills and finally, one day, he opened up to me about his training. I am writing these facts here – but, of course, due to the secrecy of the Special Forces training, I am not at liberty to divulge everything that he experienced. I want to also state here that I am going to start writing in the third person sometimes – as that is the only way I can make sense of it all; it makes it feel less real that way. Dave told me later that he couldn’t remember much about life before the army, it was a confusing mess of memories and images; all muddled up in his mind. His first few weeks in the army had been the same; messy and uncoordinated.
