This is a short story about a young Vietnamese man attacked during the Vietnamese war. The inspiration for this story came from a school assignment; to take a story we had read in class and change the perspective to that of the Vietnamese man instead of the American solider. Even though it was written for school rather than personal interest I decide to post it anyways. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as i enjoyed writing it. I look forwards to your comments and suggestions.

Post-Traumatic
A Vietnam veteran finds that 43 years after the war, it's getting harder and harder to control his thoughts, his actions. His memory scarred by the horrible events that occurred in that jungle, what seemed like a century ago. His brain puts his conscience on autopilot, and carries him off to his own personal hell. The stress is getting to him more and more in his older state, like he's dying more and more every time he flashes back to that dense forest, and is feeding the memory that kills him with his decaying state. He's afraid to sleep, afraid of being alone, for fear that it will consume him completely. It sometimes feels that all the possible happiness has left him, that he can no longer create good memories, only amplify the terrifying ones.Complete
