“Underneath the Light” by Isabel Sutherland

Submitted to Contest #40

It was dim and murky in the police headquarters. The entrance was filled with smoke and many walked around with stacks of papers and yellow folders.

September 28, 1919 Dear Journal, I continue to be restless after all this time. For the past week I have gotten only a couple hours of sleep. Every time I close my eyes I see vivid memories of the war. The trenches filled with death and disease, the men that lie on the floor emotionless and still, and one specific man who I cannot seem to erase from my mind.
