An army lieutenant concentrates on rationing out his company's supply of coffee, meticulously dividing the brown squares before him, when a shot rings out.

The enlisted men, startled by the noise, suddenly see blood saturating their lieutenant's sleeve.

His mind swirls with mysterious revelations about existence and the meaning of life.
