With trembling hands he folded the well worn photograph in two and put it in his pocket.
The whirr of the warplanes sounded in the background as he stood up.
The Kallang airfield in Singapore was in front of him, he saluted to the planes taking off with a silent good luck and picked up his helmet.
"Can you believe its' finally happening' It was Pilot Officer Lawrence, a young 23 year old who had romanticised the war.

His plane was engaged at 16,000 feet, he manouevered and veered to the right as enemy fire raked the side of his plane, he doubled back into the cloud and thought he had gotten rid of his attacker.

She walked into the room and took down the old wooden box from the top shelf of her wardrobe, there was gun in there. slowly she took it out and laoded it with one bullet. she walked downstairs and sat in front of the fireplace, a picture of a sailboat hanging above it, the picture he hated but still got for her. The gun sat in her lap and she stared blankly at the wall.
The day she knew she loved him had been a Saturday, they were at the circus and he had casually plucked a stray strand of candy floss that had caught in her red hair and popped it in his mouth.
Two weeks later when had proposed to her he was so nervous he had dropped the ring into the lake and then immediately dived in after it.
With steady hands she bought the gun to her temple.

The mud was sucking in his broken body, with his dying breath he managed to bring the photograph of her to his lips.
Honey I'm home, he thought to himself as he closed his eyes for the last time.

Honey I'm home she whispered to the empty house.
Honey I'm Home.
Bang.
