Support Our Troops – A Short Story
When Koty’s husband volunteers her to visit Jamie, a quadruple amputee who lost his limbs while serving in Iraq, neither Koty nor Jamie is happy.
Jamie resents being “babysat” every day. Koty resents her lot in life: almost 30, mother of four, married to an abusive alcoholic. But in one pivotal moment that brings Koty and Jamie together in a sexually-charged situation, all that changes.
BIG NOTE: This short story inspired my novel, What Happened in Granite Creek. The short story is essentially the first chapter of the novel. (So if you read the short story and want to know what happens next, get the novel.)
