Few and Far Between

Mark flipped through a few pages of the old and worn book in his hands, the dates of the entry's were far apart.

He reread one entry from the middle of the book, calling to mind the memory of the day that he and his brother had decided to join the military. Their father had been proud of them.

The next entry was dated a year later. 'We have been placed in Major David Cole's command.

And the next and last entry three years later. "David gave his life for us today. Bryan is in the hospital, and Joe is missing. Steve is taking this hard.

Mark flipped the book closed and placed it back on his drawer. He didn't know when he would write in it next. Some things he would prefer to forget.
