I realize I write fiction, but it can become so real when I seek to add authenticity. Here’s a short snippet from “Fear the Jump” in which former Marine Scout Sniper Russell Carter is interviewed…
“I know I have PTSD; my shrink at the VA diagnosed it several years ago and put me on some meds that changed who I was. I hated it and swore that I would never again put poison into my body to attack the poison in my mind.”
I cannot add anything at all to one soldier’s truths that define his continuing battle. Why add anything when the pain and struggles with PTSD are not fiction at all, and for so many?
Peace! G.
