Description

James, middle-aged, is given to one-night flings with younger men in whom he searches for someone he lost long ago. A random comment by his latest catch draws his mind back to the past, to a boy he once loved so fiercely, a boy drafted and sent to fight in Vietnam. A boy lost in the war. A boy James has never forgotten. WARNING: This is a very sad little story. It's also one of my best IMHO.

Review by: Marcia Carrington on April 14, 2012 :
Introspective short story where the narrative's central relationship is intimately portrayed, sometimes with an uncomfortably realistic level of emotional detail which makes the reader believe they are watching a true story unfold, and that they are intruding on the events.

Review by: B. B. on July 26, 2010 :
This is sad, tender and sweet, but I couldn't help but feel that it's a prelude to a story rather than a story in itself. The reader is given a mere glimpse into James's life and then shut out. There's potential for much more here. I think the real story would be James moving on from his loss and learning to live again.
