Happy Tuesday to you. Thank you for sharing your flash fiction story with us. To tell a good story in so few words is quite difficult, I think you executed well. It is so sad what this country does to it's veterans. Good job and good luck in the contest.

Every homeless person has a terrific story to be told. There are not bums, but veterans, single moms, grandparents, and many children. Thank you for this well-written story.
Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day and God bless.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is a sad story and your empathy here has hit home. We go about our daily business ignoring these poor souls, some of then cannot be helped because they are so steeped in their own sorrow, but we should give a helping hand whenever we can. After all, no one would choose this life, your words resonated with me, love Dolly x

I immediately realized that this man was a decorated war veteran, who was having great difficulty coping after experiencing the horrors of war.
Thank you for reminding us that the horrors of war do not end when soldiers return.

My heart goes out to people like him. People, who have given their lives for a noble cause, are not appreciated. People bad ending, to an otherwise normal life, before this terrible outcome.

Thank-you for taking the time to read my short story. I totally agree with your comments. I chose this topic for that very reason.
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
It is a sad commentary on our societies that our Veterans have to resort to homelessness/begging. Our gov't should be ashamed of the treatment of these men/women. You did a great job, Mystery Author, with your contest entry. Your last few lines sum up the feelings so many ignore. They forget 'there but for the grace of God, go I.' Thanks for caring and sharing. Best wishes. Jan

This is a very worthy entry to the contest. So many of our returned soldiers have troubled adapting back into civilian life. I don't have any suggestions that could improve your sad story.
