I think this is my favorite story of the month. The beginning is so touching and dramatic. Your voice is very clear and your elocution is beyond words. There is very nice imagery coupled with a musical ambiance. Simply put--Bravo. This piece really brought home the impact of war on our society. It makes you think critically about the implications if you’ve never experienced them.

It does truly belong in a Shakespearian tragedy as you put, because like so many of his plays, it demonstrates the virtues of human life in a surreal way. In this case we deal with pain and suffering due to war. The outro was artistic and profound.

Excellent job.
