"Love Fast" (the story below) is a work of fiction that I am still working on editing as well as developing characters. It was an assignment for English. We had to write a story to convey that we had a good understanding of Tim O'Brien's stories from The Things They Carried. His war stories--as he states so many times--are immoral and twisted, and one of the major themes is blame/guilt. This story is all of those things.
I'm not out to scare anyone, but I wasn't looking for a happy ending. If you're left disturbed or sad, or wondering where the happy ending is, the story has succeeded. Again, this story is a work of fiction.
