Why did you make it fictional? This seems like a cool life experience and story to share. I think the way you describe the nagging self doubts are similar to many I had when I faced several similar situations in the Army. Heavy is the mantle of leadership. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for the kind review. To answer your question, it is based on a composite of many experiences, both mine and those of others.

What an incredible biographical fiction story - with a touch of humor here and there! I was thoroughly entranced with it! Great job, well-done, very well-written!

What a great story. That is full of description and dialogue that is priceless. This is a wonderful example of how to write a short story with meaningful dialogue and action. This deserves 6 stars. Congratulations.
