While digging a trench, a military unit finds human remains tied by a wire. The narrator and Private First Class Oh go to a nearby village to identify the skeletons. According to the testimony of an old man, the place where the remains were found is where the villagers who were killed near the end of the Korean War were buried. The narrator thinks of his father, who became a communist partisan and defected to the North. His mother is still waiting for his father. The narrator has a sudden vision of his father, bound by wire, and imagines that he is in pain.
