No Guarantee

This is another short story that I have set in the first world war. It's a short read, but an emotional one, I think. I wanted to show a brief look into the toll that war takes on not only the soldiers, but the parents who endure the aftermath of the war as well, complete with an unexpected-or expected depending on the reader-conclusion.

I hope you enjoy, or at the very least take something interesting from this short story.
