You captured the characters so well, and left me in tears by the climax. It is true that many times the ru es of humanity are destroyed by war. Many parts of this story reminded me of the Saving Private Ryan novel, which was extremely well written. It had the medic Wade killed in similar fashion as Doc here and the other GIs were outraged.

jasmine - 02/14/00 15:32:14 My Email:BrendaJKoehler@aol.com Favorite: The Undoing

Comments: "Frayed Ends of Sanity" is a story I thoroughly enjoyed and one I did not expect to. The monster is so masterfully rendered and the narrative so absorbing, that the science fiction sequences blend seamlessly into the combat scenes, the whole story shifti g fluidly back and forth with deceptive ease. Once again, character interaction and deeply textured detail combine to envelop the reader in an engrossing tale that convincingly engages the supernatural. The entrance of the Predator is no so much a garish departure as a feasible plot development, largely due to its portrayal as the malignant extension of the horror and fear encountered at close quarters by these men on a daily basis. This under-the-skin acquaintance with evil that gives ife to demons and monsters is a standby of the sword-amd-sorcery genre, and this literature's brooding and elemental flavor is compellingly evinced in the climax, in the best tradition of "Conan the Barbarian". FEofS is a great read and an expertly cr fted adventure story. It takes no small measure of skill to be able to incorporate the world of fantasy into the realm of the combat soldier and end up with a story still firmly grounded in credibility. This is IMO a first=rate effort and great entertai ment.

Comments: Hello! I wouldn't sleep tonight wondering if the Preditor got the Lt. Saunders suffers the most extreme of shocks, having his concept of reality shattered, and fight on with guts and wit. I can think of few things more likely to cause a person to prefer madness over reality than having the impossible occur before there eyes. Poelpe crave to know "what was it?" It doesn't have to be horrible, have a hard-nosed lawer come into his office a d see a fairy hovering over his desk. See is he doesn't make up some wild tale more wild that seeing a fairy, to convnince himself he is sane and did no see what he believes couldn't be. Plus the lawyer will never talk about it and become hostle if pres ed. It will be the worse day in his life. When men landed on the moon I had sane elderly people hotly contests the whole think was a TV/movie trick. It was logicial to them (1) TV/movies shows outrageous things from Moses parting the Red Sea to cheap horror flicks. (2) A human cannot go to the m on. Only a crazy person belives this so therefore it was a TV trick because I am sane. Saunders, nor anyone else, in the Army had any mental idea Predators exist, outside of tales from the Dark Ages. (unless it was an inner gruop inside the S.S. who became more consumed with black magic and gross rites to be accepted deeper in the secret su layers of the Order. The Preditor doesn't appear to be supernatural, just-off planet on a sporting exercise) Saunders has to fight weapons beyond his understanding, function when he belives himself mad, protect Kirby who is in grave need, and keep his sanity. He even tell Hanley about the creature when speaking of the tramatic is profoundly difficult. Foo fighters had a similar effect on flyers, they were seen in both in Europe and Japan. One advanatage was you could blame the enemy (Saunders' can't), and althought the Allies expctd to be attacked by Foo fighers they were not. The best reports I have read on the Foo fighers was they were metallic, moved with the ship, and may have been robotic in nature. Jets were bad enough to get us to. _ The contast between the cold alien killer, the sauad is sharp in bright relief. Saunders caring for a wounded Kirby, clutching him when he know he is hit; Hanley firmly, gently giving the frantic Saunders water, Billy mounrufll muttering over his arge ye ling for his Lt., covering the shivering manith his jacket, the squad care and concern shown in minute detail from Kirby lecturing Saunders on getting his head while Nazi's cut down saplins with bulllets, grief ridden Kirby having to hide his BAR, to Doc eeded in 2 places at once. Have you considered this line fo thought for a sequel: Hanley is being stalked by the parent, an is partly prepared because of what he has seen with Saunders, but nothing but an encounter will make it real, one he is not likely to survive. Saunders' body recovers, but he has no way to accept as what he saw and expierenced as real. Not even the space creature consept can ease his mental stress. Saunders has nothing in his background to even think of space except in the most casual matter, and then all sa e men know the the solar system is void of life. Hurry back to help Hanley, after being tipped off another one was on the loose (perhaps he saw it trail Hanley from the trees as the Lt. crossed the hospital grounds to visit) Saunders finds to strain to m ch. He hasn't mentally recovered, his Lt. is in a danger the man cannot understand, and the Krauts are still in the woods. How do you fight an enemy as deadly as Nazi Germany, while looking over your shoulder for a killer straight our of hell that can't exist. Saunders would be pulled between two extreme dangers at once. I check every day so see what's new. Keep writing. Zeal out.

Comments: 11 Jan 2000, Hello! As a gushing fan I want you to know I check the fan pages once a day, and sometimes twice. Who know what might appear between dinner and supper? I had been wanting the Lt. to bash in the nose of the Frenchman with the shotgun since I read Tnaksgiving. (Your work stays with me, the secretly sensitive Sgt., red faced and innocent getting called on the carpet by Hanley, still haunts me. I've rewrit en that one in my head several times) Points of beauty in the script are: Saunders hears the base cello adding substance and heart to a classical piece of music; Doc's care and attitude, an angel with a heart burn and four-day old beard; Caje's quick energy drained out of him from exhaustion, replaced with trembling fingers around a Lucky when he has to deal with a reality shift. The break from the scene to advance time in the story was great as Hanley patted his jacket for a smoke and went to find Kirby. I read the only time Jesus ask for human help was in the garden when He wanted company as He came to terms with His dead and was denied it because the apostles fall asleep. That came to mind as I read Hanley kneeling by Saunders and wishing he was awake. One overworked Lt. alone, surrounded by his squad needed human contact from somebody who had been there. Saunders needing to see that famous smile, even a hint of it on the Lt.'s face, to convince him they wouldn't crumble under an assault from a passin German patrol. You gave depth to their relationship. The events in the house were well done. Caje's warning and the Lt.'s scorn of a civilian with a gun turning him away forshadowing events. Sauanders waking confused, then in mortal terror, the man who faces down panzers, and the 3d Reich horrified at the adman at the foot of is bed. Such a feeling of fear and helplessness. Hanley's roused like a she-bear toward cubs; the drawn .45, checking the room before going to Saunders, carrying him in as a child. The sense of horror carried over in Kirby unable to ove. The street tough who could keep the squad alive with his BAR in the most savage of fights frozen by his Sgt.'s screm, and what was in that room he couldn't see. Of couse there was a logicial explantion for the event. I read an account by Steinbeck on WWII (he went to the front and followed the troops, recording events) Steinbeck wrote of an American Sgt. in England awaiting D-Day. The Sgt. had walked down a rur l road at night to get to his base. He saw a house and through the window, lit up by fire light from a grate, was an elderly woman by the fire with her cat. He thought nothing of if until he went back and found the site destroyed by fire. Sometime earli r a Nazi bomb had destroyed the house. The Sgt. refused to believe his own testomony telling Steinbeck he "didn't believe in that stuff". Please write faster. I may get up to checking your site 3 times a day. Zeal out.

Comments: Hello! I was delighted to find new Fan Fiction and just read Twlight. The plot, dialogue, pace and tension was superior. I enjoyed a Saunders from the Bronx with a senstive soul and sharp intelligence. I enjoyed Kriby hard black and and hur feelings, hurt to he quick. Hanley getting carried away with his passion as Saunders refuses to give an inch as well done. Short stories are hard and you had me in the story, suffering every passion and biting cold. The last paragraph was great short story plotting--the wist. It was one searing paragraph I wish I hadn't read. Instantly my mind went beyond the story to what would happen to Hanley and the squad when they found Saunders' body. They had yet to fight the Bulge and now without Saunders. They had, like the real men, those dreadful days of cold to endure. Men never warm driven to the depth of depression by a winter like one sent by the Nordic frost gaints to blast mankind into Hel's domain. I recalled a true incident that happened in North Africa to a Lieutenant with his first combat experience. The Americans had attacked a German positon and between the 2 sides was a field of severly wounded Germans. One in particular scream, and screamed Before the Lieutenant could stop the Sergeant, he grabbed the phone and ordered artillery on the field of wounded. When it was over no sounds came from the field and the Lieutenant protested. The Sergeant told him that was the way it was. I wondered hat the Americans and the Germans felt when the shells came down on wounded Germans, and how many GI POWs and wounded died to pay for that day at the hands of Germans.

Comments: Hello, I enjoyed this tale of grief and violation of the laws of humanity. Short stories are hard, so much to say in such little space. The action scenes are thrilling and support the emotional display of the characters. Saunder's age keep jimping around in my brain. I see him as 26 and see one man, then my brain sees him as 30+ and I get another picture. Your scene with grief and shock in his own eyes even from a veteran of North Africa, suits the younger version. A an not yet burned out be seeing too much, feeling too much, youth still erasing the depth of the scars. For him at 30+ no echo of innocence remains. People must have some code to live by to stay sane. For Saunders is was "Germans don't shoot medics for the heck of it." On crazy killer proves him wrong. Most of the time the German's repected our medics and complained to the US Army about the lack of c ear markings for them. I have read accounts of GIs eager to gun down German medcis. (Roll Me Over)out of rage and stopped. I don't imagine this allways happened. Murders abound in and out of armies. Kirby's reaction to the death of Doc, lose of another medic, and Saunders wounding, shows even more youth than Saunders. His rage and tears spring directly up out of the soul. Not even the street tough could be prepared for this. Kirby blasting away th enemy, yet finding no comfort paints a powerful mental picture. Caje is the most experienced soldier, but without the burden of command. Hanley, the man with maturity copes, rejoicing good news and comforts his men. Saunders' personality as Sergeant becomes more ingrained, the civilian erased a little more with each ose taken as his personal failure. Combat veterans do live a world apart from us civilians. I wonder how they tolerate our existance at all, or endure their aloneness. Keep writing, I'm waiting, more thoughts later. Zeal out.

Comments: Hello! More comments on "The Undoing". The lead with Curtis' death was excellent. Tension starts with Hanley conversation with Caje that isn't quite right. Building the suspense as Littlejohn, and Kirby crawled along worry about Krauts and knife attacks on th Lt. added to the moment they found him in a different peril. Would Hanley have survived this if he had the squad's support? I'm not sure what Hanley duites were as an officer to loook for Saunders. In the eposide, his primary concern remains his men up to the point of trying to stop Nelson from running out to the advancing troops shouting about the war being over. Once Hanley's mental state was recognized he would have been given "Blue 88.s", barbiturates, and sodium amytal which left the soldier numb when the drug wore off. In "Eyes of the Hunter", Kirby stops calling Burgess his buddy when it becomes clear Burgess is unable to form any human bond and want to kill the captured Caje and Nelson just so he can throw a grenade. My mother's cousin saw a GI accidently kill his buddy in a bunker who the man thought was a German. The man went berserk on the spot, and was loaded in a jeep and taken to the rear. He did not return to the unit. Please write faster. I an eager to hear from you. More comments later. Zeal.

One feels Saunders' agony, but the weight of Hanley's command is more sudtle, but there--he must save as many as he can. From the Deadly Brotherhood, I learned no one droves a frontline squad any lace. Hanley ordered no hunting for Saunders, he is obeyed out of a choice to survive. An act of conscience will by the men present. This is a team decision, and all on the team must bear the guilt. Kirby can get mad at Hanley, but he must also blame th team members present. Had he been on the team Hanley would have been ignored and the Sarge found. I do not know how Saunders would first feel when he realized what happened, or later after he pondered it.

Comments: I re-read "Hatred" and "Letters Home" and decided "Bird Girl" needed an epilogue and a dedication---I hope they meet with your approval! ;-)

Comments: Beautiful stories, evryone. "Hatred" inpsired me to try a take of my own called "Bird Girl", honoring another very special (but unsung) group...It's at the URL above. And thanks, Susan for all the great "reads"!

Comments: I got to the site and I saved it in my hot list. I downloaded Hatred and will read it later. Say, can you do a love story about Littlejohn :-)

Comments: I gotta go with The 'Fox on "Hatred", Oh Princess of Prose. Sarge is enough of a Soldier to know that killing the enemy is your DUTY regardless of the color of your skin and/or uniform. If anything he'd be bothered by the thought that he'd probably sent a few Kraut "kid brothers" home in pine jackets himself....And some prejudices die awful hard, even in war. Remember how the bomber pilots reacted to the Tuskegees who'd just saved their (white) butts? "There are NO BLACK FLIERS, and it DIDN'T HAPPEN!" But eautiful writing, as usual: keep it coming!

Comments: My sweet friend Anna is lending me her machine again so here goes. Re "Hatred"...a fine piece by the way...I feel Saunders would be much more likely to blame the war than the Japanese for cutting short the life of his brother. Might have been a tad better if Saunders had been the Sgt "in charge" of a guy who had lost his brother and wouldn't be bullied, cajoled or budged from his overriding bitterness until Jimmy Maeda came along...But who am I to citicize? Hell, I can't even write a decent letter. Don't l t me stop you, Girl...and GO FOR BROKE!!! (Couldn't resist).

Comments: Just finished reading "Hatred"--wow! Tough subject, and very interesting! You wrote Chip's emotions very true-to-character.

Comments: Susan, you are a skilled writer, but you do realize that you killed off Doc (an unforgiveable sin)in December of 1944 and have him writing letters home in January of 1945. Unless you intend to write a sequel to Crossroads and have Doc surviving the Malmed Massacre, you have a major problem on your hands. This isn't going to be like Bobby Ewing and Saunders is going to wake up and find Doc in the shower (highly unlikely in WWII Europe)?

Comments: But why did you have to kill Billy off?!?!?! He's one of the greatest characters!!! Well, I'll grant you your artistic liscense, but I won't agree with what you did :-) Other than that, you have a great writing style!

Comments: You are great. Stories about the guys in Combat with a heavy emphasis on Sarge. Keep them coming.

Comments: I loved "The Soldier"!!! Awesome piece of work! I can't wait to read more. Being a writer myself, I must say this is better than anything "Combat!"-related I've ever dreamt up :-D
