I have added a new page to the DAC called true tales. There is a diary of an orderly in The Great War. This provided myself with the idea for the setting.

I really cringed at the 'peeling his fingernails back.' And the man with the razor... shudder. The horrors of war and the aftermath thereof. Well captured indeed. ~jon This was really a powerful piece of writing, Chance. I really cringed at the ‘peeling his fingernails back.’ And the man with the razor… shudder.

A letter that may or may not preclude another letter, an exercise at dealing with trying to understand the reality of the situation. Last line: powerful and sums it all up. Nice touch, good visuals.

Fearing the nights as much as fearing the artillery sounds...showing that even though a soldier may have "survived" out in the field, internal peace dies over and over. Sad and wonderful. Dynamic story.
