A Military Burial
Three days after Bob’s death, the army organized a funeral in honor of the soldiers. It had been planned for the day after the tragedy, but it had been postponed for some reason. Doris found it strange and tried to contact the army to ask for an explanation. However, she couldn’t reach anyone and was forced to wait for the army to call her back. As the days passed, Doris’s suspicions grew. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off about the postponement of the funeral and the lack of communication.
Eventually, Doris decided that she needed to read her son’s farewell letter. That night, she went into her room and closed the door behind her. She took the letter out of her bedside drawer and looked at it for a moment, wondering if it was a good idea to read it. She took a deep breath and opened it, hoping that it would bring her some peace of mind and help her come to terms with her son’s death.
