Broken or whole, any kid who dropped their sig on a military contract knows it starts with seared, blistered memory of Sergeant Generic Drill screaming get off the fucking bus right now maggots. End of the line.
I purchased your book "The Defiant Light"on Amazon, Victor. It is a treasure chest of odd, dark stories and I definitely recommend it to your readers. I admit that the meaning of many of them was above my level of comprehension, but I especially reacted to "Terminal Los Angeles", "Silent Sons of Propaganda", "Beautiful Lopsided Eyes of Trigger Guards", "Slow Train" and many others. Thank you.
What a searing insight into the personal and political damage that leads to war - mankind's most celebrated and degenerate events. This, for me, is your writing in its most powerful and unleashed form. Well done, Victor!
" The soft damaged hearts of broken boys." Yes, Victor, and I see no remedy, do you? And it started here: "... tried to please a hard father man, a hard man hard inside like hard men are, dried, calcified, drained of love, critical, with serious judgments, grave to the grave, essential, decisive, flawed." And how did his father become THAT? This was a very difficult read for me, Victor -- as is most of your book. But I am reading it and learning something about the way men think. I was very touched by "Baz Tries Crime First Time".

Una historia cruda para leer pero asimilable. Tus historias me provocan empatia y eso me encanta. Gracias!
"and the whole world lost an opportunity to see a nascent war and refuse to feed it with hard guns and the soft damaged hearts of broken boys."
So well said, Victor. As always.
