Description
The idea for Homecoming crept into my mind after reading an article about veteran suicides. The idea, a small, unformed concept, chased me into my dreams and back into my daytime musings again. They fermented over the days and weeks and, eventually, became a story. This one is important to me. Just so you know, I spent the first third of my adult life in the U.S. Army. I spent two and a half of those years in Vietnam. I think about those years a lot. I think about Vietnam and my time there, the people I knew and surrounded myself with, and the people we fought. I know the Veteran suicide rate is higher than that of the population in general. That knowledge, those thoughts, and my personal episodes of PTSD-driven night terrors led me to a story of how a troubled person could be led to leave this life.
