Betrayal of friends

Corporal Rat Stood Guard

You can call it what you want,
the next morning the evidence was crystal clear to the chain of command,
two casualties in the dragoons, throats slit ear to ear, it was nasty...their heads were lying in pools of blood.
The whole unit knew who was pulling duty that night.
That arsehole.
He swore on a stack of Bibles, made a pact with the devil when he said he was wide awake the whole night.
I can't fight the dreams & I keep hearing screams....curdling.
It's okay my shrink tells me,
he'll pay for it once he passes the Gates of Hell.
