The Scar



He wears the scar of a war that had no purpose anymore.
Giving his pride to a country that gave him nothing but lies, he becomes one of the many living dead. Walking around with nothing but hatred and sorrow in his head. When it is time for him to pass away; Will they say he died of a natural cause? Or, will he just be another casualty of war?
