In an eerie prefigurement of his own condition, Agee's pet magpie is one day besieged by hundreds of wild members of its species outside the window. After Agee puts his bird out to join them, it is pecked to death. But there are lyric moments in this boyhood as well: slingshot escapades, fishing trips, and cowboys-and-Indians in abandoned Nazi foxholes. But that world ends with puberty...

So does almost everyone in such a unit: the lights are kept on; nurses and doctors move about constantly, checking vital signs and taking blood samples; monitors hooked up to patients beep incessantly. Reagan was given antibiotics to combat possible infections and pain medication to ease his moderate discomfort, more the result of the operation than the bullet injury...
