Major's Crime

My name is Erich, the youngest major in the empire. I have a secret: I can't die. After being beaten into a sieve by machine guns, stand up. Blown to pieces by cannonballs, put back together. Relying on this ability, I became a hero from a new soldier, and from a private to a major. Everyone says I am the sharpest knife in the empire. But the knife won't get tired. Knife will not think of his dead comrades late at night. Knife doesn't look into the eyes of a Federation girl and find he can't pull the trigger. They don't know that immortality is a curse. And I was losing my reason to live.
