5.0 out of 5 stars Dark, intriguing, fast read

I enjoyed this short story...not because the storyline was romantic or soft...nope...it is definitely dark. The character development is rich and believable and the characters are likable - like someone you might know.

Take 30-60 minutes and read this. It’s a powerful depiction of life and worth a read.

I'll not a big reader, it takes a very captivating story to keep my attention. A friend suggested i read this, And I'm glad i did. I was hooked once i started and not seeing the ending coming made it all worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Held my attention until the very end
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2019
A dark story with a wry undertone, I couldn't predict the ending as this short held my attention to the very last page (not easily done). This work brings awareness to its readers of the solemn, horrifying reality of the war we all think we are familiar with. With the subtle cynicism and witty attitude of the protagonist and overall tone, Conduct After Capture, oddly enough, sustained a light-hearted mood despite its gruesome events and corrupt characters.
