The poignant moment when two former lovers cross paths, their hearts heavy with memories of a shared history now broken. The image speaks of lingering pain, unspoken words, and the quiet ache of what once was. Though their bodies move forward, their souls seem frozen in the echoes of their love, haunted by the weight of a past they can never reclaim. It's a story of longing, loss, and the bittersweet reality of becoming strangers with someone who once meant everything.

"I hate how the human race complicates things. You're born, and then you die. The space between that is a grey area. It's a blank line. It's all up to you on how you fill the line.

A Vietnam veteran finds that 43 years after the war, it's getting harder and harder to control his thoughts, his actions. His memory scarred by the horrible events that occurred in that jungle, what seemed like a century ago. His brain puts his conscience on autopilot, and carries him off to his own personal hell. The stress is getting to him more and more in his older state, like he's dying more and more every time he flashes back to that dense forest, and is feeding the memory that kills him with his decaying state. He's afraid to sleep, afraid of being alone, for fear that it will consume him completely. It sometimes feels that all the possible happiness has left him, that he can no longer create good memories, only amplify the terrifying ones.
