2:30 am	@@@@@Seeing nothing, he waved his hand forward @@@@@Seeing nothing, he waved his hand forward again, and they continued to advance BEE-YOWWWWW! The shot ricocheted off a rock and went singing into the distanceSuddenly, terrifyingly, the grove crackled with gunfire, and the men in the field withered before it like a wheat prairie in a squallHearn dropped to the ground behind a rock, looked behind him to see the rest of the men crawling for cover, squirming and cursing and shouting at each otherThe rifle fire continued, steady and vicious, mounting in crescendo with the parched snapping sound of wood in a forest fireThe bullets chirruped by in the soft buzzing sound of insects on the wing, or glanced off a rock and went screaming through the air with the tortured howl of metal ripping apartBEE-YOWWWWWW! BEEE-YOWWWWWWW! TEE-YOOOOOOOOONG! The men in the field flopped behind their rocks, quivered helpless, afraid to raise their headsBehind them, back of the rock ledge, after a pause, Croft and his squad had begun to fire into the grove at the other end of the fieldThe walls of the cliff refracted the sound, bounced it back into the valley, where it rushed about in disorder, the echoes overlapping like conflicting ripples in a brookA wash of sound beat over the men, almost deafening them Hearn lay prone behind a rock, his limbs twitching, sweat running into his eyesHe stared for long seconds at the granite veins and tissues of the rock before him, looking with numb absorption, without volitionEverything in him had come undoneThe impulse to cover his head and wait passively for the fight to terminate was very powerfulHe heard a sound trickle out of his lips, was dumbly surprised to know he had made itWith everything, with the surprising and unmanning fear was a passionate disgust with himselfHe couldn't quite believe itHe had never been in combat before, but to act like this BEE-YOWWWWWW! Rock fragments and powder settled on his neck, itched slightlyThe gunfire was spiteful, malevolentIt seemed directed at him, and he winced unconsciously every time a bullet passedAll the water in his body had rushed to the surfacePerspiration dripped steadily, automatically, from his chin, the tip of his nose, from his brow into his eyesThe skirmish was only fifteen or twenty seconds old, and he was completely wetA steel band wrenched at his clavicle, choked his throa (Comment on this)
2:23 am	@@@@@They had been in the rubber boats but there @@@@@They had been in the rubber boats but there were only a few of those men left, and since then they had been relatively inactiveThe night the Japanese had attacked across the river they had acquitted themselves well, very wellThere was that platoon leader Croft whom Dalleson had mentionedBest of all, they were a small platoon, and he could send them all outIf he were to split a larger platoon, the men who would have to go would be bitter at their bad luck in being selected With a little shock he realized that Hearn was to be assigned to recon tomorrowIt wasn't a particularly good idea to send out an officer who would be unfamiliar with his platoon, but he couldn't leave the success of a patrol like this to a noncomAnd Hearn was intelligent with the physical requirements necessary for such an extended mission -- at this instant Cummings considered Hearn coldly, as though he were totting up the merits and demerits of a horseHearn could manage it; he probably had a flair for command A reaction was setting inThis new plan had a great many risks, almost too many to depend on itFor a few moments Cummings considered dropping itBut the initial investment was cheap enoughA dozen or fifteen men and if it went badly for them nothing was lostIn the meantime, the Navy was not irretrievably lostHe could make a trip perhaps to GHQ once the attack was launched, and see if he couldn't promote those destroyers He walked back to his bed and lay downIn his pajamas the tent was suddenly cold, and he shivered, feeling a muffled anticipation and elationHe might as well try itHearn could be sent out If he were ever successful with thisFor an instant he allowed himself to dwell on the kudos such a victory would be worthHe turned out the lantern and rested on his cot, looking again into the darknessSomewhere in the distance artillery was firing He knew he would not fall asleep again before morn (Comment on this)

I askedI was holding my palm on the side of Elizabeth's head, feeling the smoothness of her hair as I had often felt the smoothness of my daughters' after it had been shampooed; when memory takes its strongest hold, our own bodies become ghosts, haunting us with the gestures of our younger selves"How do I talk about a process that's at least partially supernatural?"
