[Quiet Man Cometh]

My great uncle survived the war but died later of a bad heart, likely from the stress of shell shock. (post traumatic stress disorder now) He had it rather badly. He worked for my grandfather in construction after the war. If anyone dropped a tool or if there was any sort of loud sound he would dive for the ground, didn't matter where he was. He could be two stories up on a house frame and he would still do it. He would apologize after because he knew it wasn't necessary but the instinct never left him.
