Martin Kaylor’s Wallpaper

Origin
Martin Kaylor was supposed to return home from his gunner position in Korea when his regiment was attacked. Captured by the Chinese, they marched for 11 days across the icy mountains. When their interrogators tried to convince them American capitalists were the true enemy, they refused. They only began to agree weeks later out of hunger, but never actually believed what they said.

Realizing the plan was never to release their “re-educated” comrades, Kaylor and his POWs decided to escape. After a confrontation with several guards, they crossed the Imjin River and ran until a helpful man gave them shelter in an abandoned house. They gaped at the wallpaper, the first seen after months of imprisonment. In a stroke of insight, they tore up the wallpaper to signal a passing American plane, and were scooped up back to safety.

The stronger a person’s beliefs are, the hungrier they will feel until to the point of starvation.

Storage
