Never Show Anybody

Don't ever quit. Never quit. Never show anybody you're hurt. Grin and walk through the canon smoke.

I smelled of gin. Not just casually, as if i had taken four or five drinks of a winter morning to get out of bed on, but as if the Pacific ocean was pure gin and i had nosedived off the boat deck. The gin was in my hair and eyebrows, on my chin and under my chin. It was on my shirt. I smelled like dead toads.
