Ahahaha it's ironic how the summary told so much and yet so little, because frankly I didn't understand any of it.

The first sentence made me yawn. Big. The second sentence started some kind of Psycho soundtrack in my head. It's not that good that my interest was caught after reading half the page. In the second half things become very interesting! Much suspense.

It feels like in this case, the first dialogue line would've served best as the first line.

The descriptions are awesome, they are very vivid and they send across a good atmosphere, very eerie. The scene is also very picturesque. Perhaps smells would enchance it even more. The actions described feel a bit awkward though and some sentences are too wordy, which makes them confusing.

"To stare into the barrel of a gun." Powerful line.

"You've done well, Soldato. Go home to your Ida and rest. She is most certainly anxious for you. We meet next –sicilian word for meeting-." I didn't get the last thing. Sicilian word for meeting? Check it on babelfish perhaps? Lazy! You deserve a beating for that.

Ooh where did the baby come from?! XD

The dialogue is strong, good job on that.
