War is hell. And hell is other people - human or not.

This short 5-piece story of a damaged war, left alone in the vacuum of space to tend a lonely space lighthouse delves into the psyche on the not quite-PTSD spectrum issues that veterans have. Especially veterans that the world tries to forget about, and which in turn try to forget about the world.

The resolution of the last part is something that I will remember for quite some time.
