The Other End of Oblivion

I learned three things during World War III:

1) Pain comes from the most unexpected of places.

2) Humanity disappears all too quickly when people are faced with death.

3) Jumping out of a burning building probably looks a lot less impressive when there's a sore lack of slow motion and you land in a dumpster.

But even after I land myself somewhere and somewhen else entirely, my lessons continue in the most unlikely of classrooms.
