Adolph ceases to fear battle

Adolph ceases to fear battle

fiction
edward w pritchard

All the new recruits were fearful and afraid of what might happen in the upcoming battle except Adolph. All the recruits saw themselves laying on the field of battle dead, with twisted facial expressions and arms and legs flying in unnatural positions; except Adolph. After the last ten years, Adolph couldn't care, had ceased to fear death, waiting only his deliverer, the quiet mailman who would one day bring him his blessing, a reprieve from his suffering. For secretly, Adolph could not be fearful of the various battles the German army faced whether, Adolph's unit won the battle, lost the battle or didn't fight at all. Adolph was indifferent to it all and if today he was in the army, it filled his time properly and was for him something to do; his duty was as good as anything to pursue for the time being while he waited for the quiet mailman to deliver his invitation to the causatum.
