Sample text:

Jorgen Müller paced the front room, his fist clenched. “There must be some mistake, Herr Doktor. I am fit and ready to fight.”

The doctor shook his head, gazing down at his clipboard. “I’m sorry, Herr Müller. Your mind and vision are sharp, but your lungs are far too weak. You would not be able to withstand the heat of battle, and that would make you a liability.”

Jorgen pounded a fist against the wall. “But, Herr Doktor—” “No, Herr Müller. The army does not pay me to recommend defective soldiers. We’re not that desperate yet. I’m sorry, but I’m sure. I can’t sign off on this enlistment.”

Jorgen’s face reddened. “Is there nothing I can do? I could be a cook or a mechanic. I don’t have to be in the trenches.”
