Chapter Eight

Leo

I wanted the promotion to Corporal. I wanted it more than anyone else in the troop. What’s more, I deserved it more than they did, too.

When the promotions were announced, and I was passed over in favor of Max, a thick-set fellow with a shaved head, I had to swallow my bile and congratulate him.

Underneath my pleasant demeanor, I seethed with fury. He had taken my place and deserved to be punished for it.

Unfortunately, he was far bigger than me. I could never beat him in a fair fight. But he had a dog he loved. A border collie, with thick black and white fur and a friendly, wet nose.

A week after his promotion, he found his beloved dog in a ditch, strangled to death.

I had been careful. They never found out who had killed her.

Max cried for weeks, secretly in the night, under the covers, where he thought no one could hear him.

I heard him.
