I'm not quite sure what to do with this story. At some point I got some tiny Catch-22 vibes, because of the way the narrator talks about warfare. Oh yeah, I did not expect to deal with so much war and fighting. The novella is only 93 pages long, but I still had a hard time getting into the setting and the plot. The ending was interesting enough, though.
