The Ghost of the Soldier

Going Back Home

In Syria, Captain Macmillan is in his own "Home" in Abu Kamal. Alone in his own room, he looks at the Picture of his Late Girlfriend Andrea. He cried in silence as he missed her everyday.

Capt. Macmillan: Andrea, I missed you so much. I wished that you are here with me. But i could not see you. In everytime i fight, i want to die in the hands of the enemy. But God could not allowed me to let that happened. Because you wanted me to live. There are time that i have to kill myself. But i couldn't. I should have died on that day. Not you. But as the time passed, i feel that i have no reason to live anymore. I feel that i want to end my life.

As he talks to the picture, Chloe was on the Door looking at the Captain.

Chloe (In her mind): Captain, I know that you are a good friend of Jonathan. One day, you will meet her again. Maybe someone like her will love you. I wish she was here with us. But never lose faith Captain. She will come for you.

Captain Macmillan looks at Chloe who was at the door.

Capt. Macmillan: Chloe.
