Heroism It was the truck that put an end to his dreams. That was how he arrived at the foot of the Dolomites with the Austrians already high in strategic positions. He would have lain awake, nostalgic for what might have been on some granite outcrop where the enemy aimed out of the silent shadows. No one else would cross that divide, do what he’d tried to do as a medic to collect a wounded man. He wasn’t a soldier, why save someone who wouldn’t fight? So, they hunched uttering profanities in their trench watching him slowly die through their periscopes.
