Thank you for reading Falling,

That sounds reasonable about Drew's behavior.

In Tim O’Brien’s chapter "How to Tell a True War Story" from his truly excellent novel about the Vietnam War - 
          
          The Things They Carried - 
          
          “A true war story is never moral. It does not instruct, nor encourage virtue, nor suggest models of proper human behavior, nor restrain men from doing the things men have always done. If a story seems moral, do not believe it. If at the end of a war story you feel uplifted, or if you feel that some small bit of rectitude has been salvaged from the larger waste, then you have been made the victim of a very old and terrible lie."
          
          Do you agree with his premise? 

Thanks for reading my book entitled Day Zero ❤️ I added your work too in my private library too

          My submission to the Watty's 2026!

For those interested in reading a non-fiction novel account of the RMS Lusitania sinking in World War One, I highly recommend DEAD WAKE by Erik Larson.
          
          While my story is about a fictional conspiracy, Larson’s account confirms there was a detective on board as well as German stowaways suspected of being spies and possibly saboteurs.

          The AFTERWORD for those interested in the real history and the basis for the conspiracy in JACOB’S POWDER KEG

          The final chapter in JACOB’S POWDER KEG
          
          Jacob must now face the longterm and traumatic consequences of the last few hours. How will it change his life? And the world in which he tries to live it?
          
          Will he find his father? What will he tell his mother when he reunites? Will he ever see Drew and Myra again? What will become of the guilt gnawing inside him? And what really happened aboard that ship?

          Jacob nearly drowns but manages to escape the sinking ship. He’s found Drew and might have seen Myra but where is his father?

          In this chapter of JACOB’S POWDER KEG
          
          Drew confesses to Jacob the reason he’s returning to the war and the first love he lost - the killer makes another appearance and this time he’s out for blood - Jacob finally proves he can fight - and Myra is kidnapped!
