"Killing another human being isn’t so hard. It’s the forgetting. After a while, the faces of those you’ve killed tend to sneak up on you. Sometimes it’s in a dream. Other times you might be sitting in a crowded coffee shop and have a nagging sense of familiarity from the person taking your order. Each death is another haunting, another memory, another bit of subconscious weight added to one’s being.
For Mac Walker, that weight was never so great as when he killed that child."
Author D.W. Ulsterman offers readers another glimpse into the very popular character of former Navy SEAL Mac Walker in this short story that takes place in a war torn region of Sudan where Mac must come to terms with who he has become, and who he may one day be...
Ulsterman has a way of making you feel something, even in a story only 13 pages in length. I've always been a fan of the Mac Walker character, so all I can say is that he is definitely in character. Well written. Good short story that puts you in the zone.
