Powerfully penned, James. Another excellent write about the horrors of war my friend. The casualties are not just the ones who lose their life in battle. It’s returning soldiers and their families that carry those scars as well. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.

Thanks for reading. Generations of damaged people. War is not what people want. Presidents and premiers choose it for us.

I can speak from experience. Many times the civilians are truly the major suffering. They didn’t sign up for any of it. I’ve seen enough back in my days that I learned what a crock of shit most of it really is. Politicians and profits and land grabs.
Great write, Knight. You don’t have to be a Veteran (or active military) to understand the plight of so many.
Well spoken. -

Read MoreCome close, Ā beneath your nearness and the warmth of my skin, until neither of us knows where one begins. Ā Your mouth finds my neck, then pauses there, a whisper of heat caught softly in air. Ā I feel your restraint before I feel your hand, the softest tension I can barely withstand. Ā It...

Thank you, Sam. Iām glad the sensuality and intensity came through. Sometimes a little mystery makes the journey all the more interesting. š

ChĆØre G.,
Come close, a better and more inviting intro has not be written so far.
What a beauty youāve made.And the final four sentences are the cherry on the cake.
Love it to bits!
Warm regards, Gus -
