The uneasy glances, ill-hid behind their military facade of emotional camouflage, rebuke
me. They scream silent reminders I've trespassed into the land of easy camaraderie, a
place I'm no longer welcome and can no longer call home. I've relapsed into those
happier days before a star created a chasm so wide no bridge will ever ford it.
Unlike Napoleon, my isle of exile isn't surrounded by ocean waves. It laps from their
eyes and stiff posture against the invisible walls rank has built.
The fleeting looks tell me what I already know; this promotion has become my Battle of
Waterloo.
