Iraq Somewhere...

Andy squats in the dark filthy cell, cold, near naked, thirsty, bruised, bloody. He doesn't know how long he's been there, he only knows it's daytime by the murmurous mumblings of the pigeons outside the shuttered pinhole of a window.

He disgusts himself for wishing he could see Viggo again; his mates on the parade ground, at a footie match, slogging weary, mud-caked, back from assault courses.

Those remembered faces streaming across... His gaze unfocussed, knees drawn up, hiding... hiding... Does he pray? To Whom...?

"Please, don't make me show them again - they know I'm not circumcised... they can SEE...."

Poor Sean. I want to comfort him. Such a sad portrait.

My poor boy - all cold and wet and dirty. And being so humiliated... awful!
