Trench Rat

I had a thoroughly enjoyable experience reading this story. I found myself hooked right from the beginning, and while I won't share details, stop reading this review and click on Ch. 1!!!!

An odd little story that touches the heart and makes you consider how random occurrences can bring you to just the right place at the right time.

In this season we sometimes need a reminder that in helping others, we actually are helping ourselves in ways we never realize.

Beautifully written with characters that draw you in from the word go.  A lyrical edge to a few of the chapters, almost like listening to an old song that you remember but can't remember all the words to.

Hope everyone that gives this one a chance enjoys it as much as I did.  

This wonderful story from @lomax61 brings us romance, supernatural and war all in the same story.

To find out how these are woven together to give us a heartwarming and uplifting story, you'll need to read on to discover.

You don't really expect a bright story connected to the horrors and loss of World Was I. However, Brian pulls it off here. This is an uplifting tale which bridges the supernatural and romance. An enjoyable read.

Yet another wonderful, magical story from lomax61. Chance encounters, mysterious disruptions, and interesting, kind, and (some) gruff personalities come together in a lovely, heartwarming tale. The main character is sufficiently likable that a sequel would not be unwelcome. 
Read and enjoy!

Beautiful writing leaving just the right amount to the reader’s imagination and enough intrigue to be addictive. 

Like a soft and warm blanket, this story accompanies you to discover the stories of two human beings, alone in different ways and in different times, but full of humanity. Let yourself be warmed by these lines. The story of the two protagonists, born in winter, is now waiting for a spring... Do you understand me lomax61?

Another beautiful little story. I’m not ashamed to say that I cried a bit towards the end. As the author himself says, "Beautiful stories don’t have to be long. Some of the best are short tales."

Trench Rats is a delightful tale of two men finding peace together a hundred years apart. It’s a conundrum but has a miraculous feel to it. This was a perfect holiday weekend read. 

As a fomer member of the US military, I can understand the serious pain of conflict and have read about the misery and despair cause by WWI trench warfare. Richard felt Alfie's pain and the loss of his good male friend. It is comforting to learn Richard honored Alfie and spoke to a distant relative and brought his life back to reality. Let us hope his new friend,  Freddie, will be a happy holiday partner. This is a comforting story.
