The Fair Maiden | HFY | a Short Sci-Fi Story

[@Kenoscope]

I'm seventy two years old, an Air Force Veteran and a long time science fiction writer. This story caused me to cry.

[@star_Slayer6502]

I would offer a tissue but I used them all

[@Highrocker1298]

Ouch! So good it made me misty. As a retired Navy guy, I'm ecstatic that I never had to give that sacrifice. But, this reminded me of what I had reconciled with myself with what I would do if necessary. Great story. Thanks!

[@Shadow.Dragon]

Excellent story! May this story of true friendship come true!!!

[@stratometal]

For many of us a friend is family. Not one of blood ties, but family by our choice, and just a strong.

[@stratometal]

​@@ryanmcewen415 True. Sad but true. That is why the family we choose is there, in case the blood related one can't complete us. Cheers m8 and best of luck to you.

[@johnmelder6483]

Damn that was a good one

[@taevans609]

Very good story.

[@grogvaughan5649]

Being a combat veteran the bonds of brotherhood and friendship forged in shared bloody struggles in places that we try to forget are stronger than any bonds formed through bonds of name and birthright.

[@lyrigageforge3259]

Onion ninjas, if that's how you spell it in English, lol.
