Another soldier story, and more - Short Fantasy Story (Part 1)

in fiction •  5 years ago 

Powerful and moving, and I hate-hate-hate reading about war, but you've pulled me in with this series. Archetypal, epic, heroic stuff here!

I'm Captain Bo, and from now on for the next two years, I'm both your father and mother. You have two hours, while we get a little of refreshment and rest, to say goodbye to the families. After that we move on, without looking back.


The sacrifice - the loss of life - did I mention how much I despise war?
You write about it so well, I may be forced to keep reading.

I try to come up with ideas that I currently have. I will do my best not to make the next one about war and suffering. Thanks for such a nice comment, I'm glad the elements I wanted to include in the story were recognized.

War and suffering are great themes - never avoid them on my account :) -
I always skim battle scenes in fiction. It's just me. Just sayin'.
Now, Raj and his scenes of exquisite torture: should I stage an Intervention? :)))
