Friday, January 30, 2015. This a piece I wrote for a flash fiction challenge. I wrote it in memory of a friend who did not die in Vietnam. He died because of Vietnam. The original piece can be found at Last Line First. His eyes were full of the things he had seen. His mouth, full of stories better passed over than passed down. Memories caught in his craw and woke him sweating cold in the dread of his nights and left him staring into his darkness til Dawn’s early light. Image courtesy of this site. Frankl...

The soul had suffered so many felonies,. A thousand cuts of momentary shame. Withdrawn and numb now, the shell still exists,. While the essence and joy in Life long ago floated away. Was it the theft of a childhood, one drunken blow at a time? Or rather school yard bullies and a brief hollow marriage. That bears most of the blame?
