1: Diamond Rose by Cotton Nightie Sweet Love Story, with a bit of mystery and excitement. Well written. Several interesting characters elevate this story to be one of my favorites.
2: The Grey Girl by Krosis of the Collective A short but wonderful story. Quite a bit occurs, in remarkably few words. Simple, but Very Powerful concept. I have been alone for nearly a year of enforced isolation, making this story all the more powerful.
3: Runner's High by Lorn Skye While there are multiple spelling and grammar errors, the story is well told, with a few twists to keep it interesting. The ending is superb and lifts it to being one of my favorite stories.
4: Sparks by black_coffee This story, while fictional, is authentic.
Although I graduated Airborne School about a decade before the events of this story, and had somewhat different experiences; it brings back memories about the "Benning School for Boys"
Some fellow NCOs and I were seconded to CPB shortly after the First Gulf War, and that too seems very authentic; although my personal experiences were not so dramatic.
I was never a Ranger, however, I served with JSOCOM/USSOCOM, and there are some... Interesting people that are encountered... Perhaps not as colorful as depicted in this story.
However, this story revived memories of People, Places, and activities.
Beyond this being an engrossing story, it is well written, with few, if any grammatical or spelling errors.
This story is better written than a published book by Brad Thor, Tom Clancy, Larry Correia, David Webber, or several other of my favorite authors. I only wish there was more!
