Echoes of an Ex

Summary

I divorced my uncle's commanding officer.

It was ugly.

He shielded the new female combat medic while I hurled three heavy glass ashtrays at them, and he responded by kicking me down a flight of stairs, causing me to lose my seven-month pregnancy.

I left. I remarried.

Life was quiet and mundane.

Slowly, it smoothed over the madness and rage of those years.

Until one evening, at a reunion of my current husband's platoon, one of his drunk army buddies mistook me for someone else.
