There was that article I was supposed to write -- which I had to write. And so -- I returned to the hotel lobby with my arms covered in blood, when one of the hotel gofers stopped me and asked me to pay the tax I hadn't paid for 10 days.

And one day, as I was told -- he was back in the camp, playing cards, and discharged their weapon. As the gun went off, that blast, that one shot, made him duck quickly under the table, And since then, he has never been able to get up and fight.

He ended up working as a croupier in a Beirut casino where I later found him, because he couldn't sleep, so it was quite a suitable job.

Finally, I discovered that some people knew about this -- often military psychiatrists -- and that what we were dealing with was called trauma.

I don't know if you've ever had an experience with death -- I'm not talking about dead bodies, or someone's grandfather lying in a hospital bed, or someone who got hit by a car.

And then, at some point, it explodes, because it's something that has entered your brain -- a sort of window between an image and your mind -- that has penetrated your brain, staying there and taking up all the space inside.

For example, a soldier who enters a building and comes face to face with another soldier aiming at him. He looks at the gun, straight down the barrel.

In reality, someone came in, the guy left or didn't shoot, whatever, and he didn't actually get shot -- but to him, he died in that moment.

You hear that voice, and you wake up every night -- for weeks, months -- in a trance-like state, anxious and terrified, like a child.
