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.

Love is never easy, especially when it is with an Army officer who hates the concept of love. Saanvi realised this only when she fell in love with Vikram. Will a war make Vikram realise his true feelings for Saanvi? Will their personal tragedies get in their way? Read on. ****************************************************************** Excerpt: Even as Saanvi touched his wound, Vikram caught her hand and held it away from him. "Don't!! Just stay away from me if you know what is good for you." He said in a harsh tone. She stepped back as though stung. She tried to reason with him "At least let me take you to a doctor." He yelled "I don't need you now or ever!" He was hurting so much, that he felt like lashing out. The pain, the anger.. It felt like it would consume him from inside if he didn't let it out. His grip on her hand tightened as he pulled her closer. It was painful, but what he said hurt her more. The fire in his eyes held her captive as he said in a gruff voice "Leave now before your lover sees you in my house." *****************************************************************

DAASTAN-E-ISHQ: TALE OF LOVE AND WAR by vats48
91 parts Complete Mature
We were never supposed to marry, and our marriage was wrong because of many reasons but it didn't take him a single second before he shouted in front of the whole village and said that I am his wife and marry me in front of them. And I was just standing there like a statue because what could I have done when my own family is in different country and the person whom I was getting married ran away leaving me to get killed by the goons. He saved me when no one was there for me, when everyone was against me and wanted to kill me. He stood there like a rock and become my shield and my husband. And this is where our story of endless love and fight begins. And all of this just because we are from different religion and society will never accept our marriage and love. All of this started because of that tremendously awful day when it was announced that our country is getting divided into two parts and that we have to leave our country, my home where I was born and brought up. The partition of 1947 changed my life for forever. I am Noor and this is my story of Love and War with those whom I used to thought were my loved ones.
Post-Traumatic by C-McLain
12 parts Complete Mature
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.
My Soldier by Madi_My8

"Come back to me, soldier" I stood there at the Airport not wanting him to go. Me not knowing where he was going to be and if he was going to come home to me. "Babe, I love you so much." He said giving me a kiss that was so sweet and passionate. "I love you too Brett Ashwood." That's when the flight boarding intercom came on and it was his flight out. "I'm gonna miss you so much and I will come back to you." I was trying so hard not to cry. I smiled. When he grabbed his bag, I grabbed his hand and kissed him one last time. "I love you Brett." He smiled and walked down the airport. I squatted down and started crying softly. Come back to me Brett.
