“The Closest I’ve Come to Death”

How close is close? 

A desert.  A forgotten conflict.  A pair of lost souls. One trying to make a make as daring scientist.  The other trying to be forgotten as a loyal soldier.  Neither can get what they want nor can they fulfill the needs of the other.  

A story of science on the battlefield.  In a time fairly close to our own and in a place not that far away.
