War is Hell, Hell is War!
In the grip of winter
Impending dread
The opposing army seized their home
Family fought them hard and with honor
Critical madness
All of his family slaughtered
Disemboweled
Stillborn removed
Torched
Charred remains
He was the last survivor
Barely endured the massacre
Ridden with disease
Severed survival
Gasping for air
On life support
A vacant coffin awaits
Retribution for the dead

The author encourages honest critique.
You explained the horror of war.
Was visceral.
Very well written
I'm reading historical fiction on the Vietnam war, it's like one big amputation
Main character is a nurse over there
Your profile pic - is that a dark prison of the mind 😊

Thanks Debbie.
Vietnam was brutal. So many people died in that war. What do we accomplish?
A dark prison of the mind. Yes!!
If you look closely, grayish dots will appear on the white lines. Optical illusions and hypnotic patterns always intrigued me.

That illusion is groovy.
Part of the story is how badly people who made it home were treated.
What thoughts are chained to your prison's walls? 😊
