Something Like Home

Loved this short story. Great detail creates a very believable setting. The story is both romantic and realistic. Thank you!

Sweet and compelling story.  Good, short, read that tugs on you.

In the touching story Something Like Home, two young Marines form a friendship that deepens into something more. Together, they survive the horrors of war, hoping to overcome the varied challenges of returning to civilian life. Looking. ahead to when the fighting ends, quiet conversations are shared on where they can go and just be.

This is a well-written tale that offers a compassionate look at the emotions, concerns, and fears members of the armed forces face during service to their country and upon returning home. One would think those things would be enough, yes? Add to that being forced to hold the secret of a love shared.

In ten thousand words we are treated to the hell of the Pacific war and the new, postwar situation as lived by two men. A densely packed and highly emotional read. 
 

Strongly recommended, as is the author’s longer naval story which is a triumph.
