I just read a message from a veteran who read my story 'The Veteran' and one thing that really touched me is that they were unable to visit the Wall where the names of their brothers were because of the pain that kept them away.

They seemed to feel shame that they couldn't visit to talk to their lost ones but to me, thy are carrying a personal Wall inside them every day.

Their memories of those they served with and who never returned are always with them and that is what the physical Wall represents.

So to all those Veterans, know that you carry a Wall of Remembrance carved with the names of those who fell, inside you.

And I am so proud that my little story was able to touch so many Veterans.

Thank you.

Thanks to an eagle eyed reader, I fixed a small grammatical error related to passed/past usage and a minor edit to a sentence in the story.

Thank you to all who have read this and my other stories.

I just found out that a author, Vanessa Ravencroft https://storiesonline.net/a/vanessa-ravencroft, has passed away peacefully at her home late November 2020.

She created the Galactic Cronicles Universe and had quite a few books from it published here.

She was writing a couple more books when she passed and those adventures will never be completed.

The universe has lost a very creative and lovely author and she will be missed.

R.I.P. Vanessa.

I'm back home now and recovering. Don't know what I had but chest pains and breathing difficulties were not good. They have decided it is not cardiac or lung problems, though I do have some minor Pulmonary Embolisms, but I don't need to be treated for them at the moment.

Don't think it was Corona as I was ill long before it hit the shores down here. And I haven't been around people who have been traveling.

So I will try to get back into playing and writing. I have a couple ideas of stories I thought up besides the story I am working on so I will have to sit down and work on them.

Hi fans and interested readers,
Well Battletech the game had a massive DLC release called Heavy Metal where they added 10 new mech chassis to the game along with a bunch of new weapons and I have been bust playing around with all the new stuff and seeing how it all works.

But Poltergeist and her crew did get back to the campaign and had some fun and unfortunately got ambushed and lost a member of the company.

Now that the shiny coating has worn off the new stuff it will be easier to get back to the campaign on a more regular schedule. I hope.

And thanks for everyone who enjoy my writing.

Thanks.
Chaon.
