Trent looked at his older brother as he was driving. Sean had agreed to take Trent to his Driver’s Education class. But first, Trent had to wait while Sean had an appointment. Trent didn’t know what kind of appointment it was. He was afraid to ask. Sean had spent several months with the marines in Iraq, but he never wanted to talk about it. Still, Trent was curious wondering what his brother actually did in Iraq. Did he see anything gruesome? Why did he have headaches and nightmares all the time? Why did his hands shake? The car stopped in front of a two-story brick building. The sign in front read: Veterans Behavioral Health Center. The two brothers sat in the waiting room until a door opened.
