The Voice Amongst the Noise

War talks through things that shouldn't speak-radios, bulbs, wind, the hum that forgets it's a machine-and a major in the army decides whether to call that a miracle or a trap.
Every warning saves a step and sells a doubt; every choice buys a silence; choose-noise or voice.
What's signed at the end is simple: a name, a date, and whether the smoke agreed to clear.
