A catalyst. One who blurs the lines. Between. All and everything. What is there left to defend. Wandering the battlefield. Bare chested. Awaiting the next barrage. What else is there to do. But keep stumbling forward. Even after all the blood escapes the body. Punishment is a prerequisite. For not a soul can say they traversed this realm. Unscathed. Watching as the horror breaks proximity. Yielding at the last moment. To let the decimation. pass on by. In smoldering ash. Does one grin. Regretfully so.
