I did have the break come on Christmas, but I changed it. Nice catch!

You mentioned that the shelling stopped on the 23rd and my mind immediately went to “of course, it must be December and they’re taking Christmas off”. But then I realized that they were two days early and I thought “what the F?” which kept me reading to find out what really was going on. Well done.

My prompt response was the same, too. I was writing before I’d finished reading the email.

I like Jones, and your narrator has a fantastic voice. The dry, fatalistic humor is wonderful, too.

As soon as I read your prompt this morning, this whole story popped into my head. It was only a matter of writing it down.

The green Lieutenant with a strong heart and a good sense of humor. I love war stories, and I love the way you got the Jeanette Stoltz thing in there. “I never trusted her” becomes “I don’t trust them”. Awesome.
