Away from home, during a time of war where he could live or die, a nineteen year old soldier develops feelings for his sergeant. Matty's never had feelings for another man, but as brief, gentle touches become more frequent, those feelings become stronger and deeper as well, leading to something special.This story feels like a love letter to your first real love, a love letter that is full of regret and longing. This story is about taking a chance and voicing your love while there is time, and I liked that sentiment. As flash fiction, this story is short and compact, but it has a lot of emotion to it, painting a very touching story of a love sweetly remembered. A Very short read but it did evoke some emotion from me.
