The Republic of Nothing (2007)
“I kept asking her, “What’s wrong?” but she wouldn’t answer except to say that it wasn’t me. It didn’t have anything to do with me. I invited her over many times, invited myself over to her house, but it was always no. She was pushing me further and further away and I didn’t know why. She had also begun to miss school which was very unusual for her. I figured it had something to do with Burnet, and something to do with the war. Word had come back that Burnet, after training in Canada, would be s...hipped down to the States for further work with a unit in South Carolina, and then it would be off to Southeast Asia. The crazy bastard was going to have his chance to kill after all. I wanted to explain it all to Gwen, to tell her what Burnet was really like, that maybe it wasn’t his fault but that he was a born destroyer. But every time I talked to her, every time I launched into a one-sided conversation with her, I never once mentioned Burnet.
