   Summary

   If you leave a boy alone in a war for long enough, the war will tear through him like a hurricane. The wreckage it leaves behind is a trace; this is a negative copy of the destruction, a mirror image of the force that ripped him in two. This is how the war repeats. It carves itself a home inside of the boy, and the boy carves the war out of himself with trembling fingers.

   There are always consequences to amputation.

   A character study and a homage to Richard Siken's War of the Foxes.
