SpoilerFull text of the letter

I no longer notice the days ending. A slow, grey march...

I do not guard a fortress or a pass — I guard a box.

My patrols mean nothing; there is nothing to see.

I'm told to die for a secret I do not know.

The general's words fade in the silence.

I wait — not for battle, but for something, anything, to give this absurd vigil a shape.

The waiting itself is the enemy now, and I fear it will devour me before any order ever comes.
