Chapter 23: Monster

When Louie and Tinker arrived at Omori, they were greeted by "the Bird." He was a mean corporal who had a reputation for beating POWs and then apologizing later, only to, later that day, do it all over again. The food was a little bit better then the food at Ofuna, but not by much. Diseases still spread quickly. "The Bird" or Mutsuhiro Watanabe, who was known for being brutal, took an immediate dislike to Louie.
