Memorialday Stories

The dead don't frighten Bob Turner. It's the living he worries about. Bob Turner is a cemetery groundskeeper - steady, ordinary, the kind of man who fixes what's in front of him and doesn't make a fuss. But when the ghosts of long‑dead soldiers begin appearing along his evening rounds, Bob becomes the one person they trust to carry their last stories home. He never asked for this. He certainly never wanted it. But he listens - because someone has to. As Memorial Day approaches, Bob finds himself caught between the quiet life he's built with his wife Janet and daughter Patty, and the unfinished business of men who never made it back. Each encounter pulls him deeper into a history he never lived but now shoulders with a quiet, stubborn grace. A grounded, intimate story about ordinary duty, unexpected burdens, and the small acts of courage that keep the living and the dead connected.

By order of President Trump, Lieutenant Colonel Y/L/N is deployed to Afghanistan, while her wife Dinah is left back in Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado with their 7 children.

A story set in the adult bluey universe

I wrote this around election time and hesitated to share this because I thought it was too racy. What a better time to post this than memorial day?
