Follow. It's a well written story so far.

7117344 Thanks! Even if it's just an idea, I always try to do my best. I'm glad it shows and I'll try to come out with more real soon.

Why does this story have a gore tag, but not a dark tag?

7117701 It's a precaution. I plan on going into some really detailed PTSD stuff later on. Did a paper on it a while back and had to talk to some real people who suffer from it. It's a horrible thing. The story itself won't be overly dark, but it will have some moments that I think warrant a gore warning. If, after I write them, I don't feel it's needed, I'll remove it.

Thanks for the input.

This is interesting, looking forward to the next chapter.

7119446 Thanks! It shouldn't be that much longer. Though, each chapter is going to be around 6k.

I wonder how long until Vinyl manages to sneak into the bar/club where Alex works. It is inevitable... :rainbowlaugh:

You've got a couple "ally"s where you should have "alley"s. :twilightsmile:

Vinyl is an adorable little pest, isn't she. How soon until she's DJing at the bar, I wonder. :rainbowlaugh:

I cried. For the first time since I joined the army, I cried. It was strange. I felt weak.

Is he Army or Marines?
I'll let "soldier" comment go from earlier because he was having pseudo-existential moment, but this one is recalling a point in his life.

7167106 Marine. Sorry, little slip, there.

7167058 Doh! Can't believe I missed those... Thanks for pointing them out—I'll fix them... eventually.

And she really is, ain't she?

~ Neon Lights

One thought still held clear: was she real? Was I crazy? Was she an apparition of my mind's creation? Was she my guilt?

The easy solution is to introduce her to someone else you trust. Then again, that might not be such an easy solution in his position... :twilightoops:

7517487 Quite the pickle, ain't it?

7517549 I know; just have her in as guest DJ one night. If anyone asks he can just say, "special effects". :rainbowlaugh:

7517552 We'll see, my friend. Life isn't always as easy as it seems. And, remember: how and why did she get there?

*slap*
Quit it with the bullshit about humans randomly experimenting on aliens. Quit.

7640222 I'd do it.

Haven't expected you would ever answer. Guess I saw just too many stories that were good like this one, yet never finished

9690168 I am slow, not dead. There is a difference.

9690571
Good for you. Frankly, I love such stories, because they show how difficult soldiers have it at times to find peace

9707052 Figured that I would throw something out here as a proof of life kinda thing.

9707071
Yeah and you Show well how difficult it is to get over Trauma

Well, Vinyls room, now.

That's what he focuses on? Shrinks are weird

Correct me if I am wrong, but is the second part supposed to also to be part of the inner monologue?

In a cosmic sort of way… I guess?

First part, in this case?

9710880 Oops. I only gave this a once over before publishing it since it's, well, a proof-of-life sneak-peak, but that doesn't excuse lazy editing. I'll fix these right away. That's for the comment, my friend.
