I loved this. One thing I have noticed though is that most people doing Steve flicks have him do heroin, but they never had him on anything else.

I needed to favorite this. :) This is absolutely awesome. You've got Steve's voice down to a T .

"You were fighting an addiction. An addiction to war, in a sense, and at the same time, an addiction to peace." That's by far my favorite line. Really, really fantastic job.

This is another great one-shot. I love how you show Steve's escape just turning around and trapping him, and the way you describe the need for the drug sounds so realistic. I also like that you added he would never try to get himself sent home, because he's not a coward. That's very Steve, I think. Good job, this is wonderful writing.

this makes me sad, but it's good!
i like it...keep going.

That dealt very well with the emotional stress on soldiers over in 'Nam. Really makes you realize what they had to go through, and what kind of measures they'd take to escape it...

Very well written, your writing style is.. beautiful, so to say. Enjoying to read. x3

Poor Steve though...

Well, I must be off to start 'Fragments'. :3

FLIPPIN AWESOME!!

wow. you are now my favorite writer!
you should definately attempt to get this and 'fragments' published.
They're both super good.

Not a lot to do with the Outsiders aside from it being Steve, but I like it. Beautiful writing, it's almost poetic. Thanks!

Great story. You've got such a great mood created here about the war and the toll it takes. I really like Steve's voice a lot too.

Ha, I love the way you started it. You could tell instantly that it was Steve's POV.

I think it's interesting, and good, how the difference between Fragments and this is so clear. They're both written in first person about the war, but even without being told the reader knows that this is Steve and Fragments is Soda. You've got the voices down well.

Very deep and metaphorical and such. Nice job.

: )

tsk tsk, i see you stay up all night writing stories.

I love being your first review!

(Wtf? The radio announcer person is talking about giving away fifty pounds of rock salt. He just said 'rock salt,' like, at least three or four times in ninety seconds. Psh, before that, he was like, "Good after--oh, wait. It's *not* afternoon yet. Uh, good morning.")

I really do like this. That's all I have to say, actually. I think you wrote it incredibly well, and it did sound like Steve... Poor, tormented fellow. Lousy father, friends die, generally turbulent youth, goes to war, does drugs, daughter runs off with Satan incarnate, daughter dies, all this stuff, you know? Lol.

Cheers!
