my watch a temptress beckoning me to take a glance "thou shall not look" I braced myself to be firm but failed miserably~ five minutes had passed since the last time I peeked the world appeared in shades of blue and black~ I couldn't even seek solace from the elements of the night, as per normal I followed my platoon mates paradoxically~ I was cautious with every step, apprehensive that my boots be drowned; yet I was led blindly, too moody to take mental notes about my whereabouts I risked another peek the watch mercilessly struck only three life was grossly unfair why did i have to endure in the name of national service? alas! the night was premature my platoon walked single-file, in varying states of drowiness, sighing inaudible pangs, steadying their (physical & emotional) loads I wondered what my mates were thinking |
