Click here"Well, I guess we're in the army now," I heard someone mumble.
We trudged past a large group of well-wishers and made our way unto the busses. I wonder if all of those people who had come out to greet us at each stop along the way had any idea how special that made us feel? We were, after all, just a bunch of dumb and nervous kids. We had no idea of what we were about to face. Yet, those crowds made us feel like we were indeed a part of something much bigger. I only wish that there were some small way that we could let them know just how important that was to us at the time.
Without any further fanfare, the busses roared to life and we were off on the final leg of our journey. The days and years ahead would hold moments of joy and pain the like of which we never dreamed. But, at that moment we couldn't wait to get to Fort Riley and see what adventures awaited us there.

paulthewetcdabout 17 years agoBeautiful job of building characters, setting, and sexual tension. Your story made me wish I was sitting across from them on the train.
Exogenousabout 17 years agoGreat story, I love the character development. The descriptions of what the main character is experiencing are terrific as you include all the senses. I love reading about her thoughts and feelings. Very real and down to earth. A clear perception of a different time that allows the reader to truly imagine what it must have been like. I happily anticipate your next installment, LM. :-)
drksideofthemoonabout 17 years agoWell done LM, this chapter is best yet. Well written, I was there on the train. I could hear all of the different accents and was caught up in the story.
I look forward to your next chapter!!
rgraham666about 17 years agoThis story is coming along well.
The author is doing a fine job of catching the flavour of the times and the way the character is changing.
Well done.
KOLKOREabout 17 years agoYou evoked similar memories of a different ride to a different war. I guess some things never change. The sexual encounter while in travel is another story; one does not have to wait for a war time for that...Thanks again for your solid quality writing!
