Wild Turkey wakes below a rural highway in Kansas. He is compelled to walk to his old school, remembering the vaginal musk that emanated from his teacher's skirt, transported to memories of women's smells throughout his life. He is used to this phenomenon - whirling back in time, captive of his senses. He remembers his first seizure as a boy, his first seizure in military bootcamp. He wakes, this time in his duplex with Jeannie. He wakes again, on his military base. The team recounts how he got his nickname trying chase down wild turkeys for a Thanksgiving dinner. He wakes sitting on his brother's backyard patio, waiting for the meal his brother will dispense to him yet again with a sympathetic sigh.

Wild Turkey wakes up in the desert in Arizona, training in a simulated Iraqi village. Iraqis are paid to represent themselves in this village as unit after unit prepares for war. The desert is so similar it may as well be a contiguous reality, and Wild Turkey hears a fake and a real explosion in every shot. He wakes up in the car with Tow Head, friend from his military unit, on their way to a shooting range. He saw Tow Head last at an arts show for veterans. Six months later, Tow Head shot himself with his rifle.

Wild Turkey wakes outside a residential complex in Ramadi, preparing to capture a messenger target within. The unit batters down the door and counts the residents: they've received false information; their target isn't there. In frustration, Specialist Freidel hits the struggling teenage girl with his rifle and knocks her dead. They curse, looking down at the brutal casualty. "Burn it", Wild Turkey says. They burn the body and go back to sleep at their base. Wild Turkey wakes up with Jeannie, he wakes up under the highway, he wakes in his second-grade classroom, he wakes up and wakes up and wakes up.
