I like this story very much and feel you capture Faramir and the horror of battle well.

A great story. Very good.

oh...that was really good.

Thank you! I enjoyed this story very much.

Wow, amazing little story!

This is so beautifully written and lifts the cover on the bravado and machissmo of epics - I suppose Tolien was writing during the war/ post war but this story seems to be a very intelligent and thoughtful reflection on how young men really feel when they first go into battle. I dont know personally, but from poetry and lit from the 1st WW in particular, the efect was sometimes devastating and will always be dehumanising -I think you caught all this in an engaging way. I really like the contrast between Boromir and Faramir - really catches that difference.
