Hello, all! How is your day going? I just finished watching Horatio Hornblower – loved it. 🙂
Continuing from last week’s excerpt re: “Truck Me Back to Normal,” published by MLR Press. (Joey in the first person)

Bear cleared his throat and tucked a lock of hair behind an ear. “From your application, it says you were in the army for a long
time, but you haven’t worked since you left. Care to tell me why?”
Well, it would have come out at some point anyway, right? “I had some difficulty dealing with a variety of things as a result
of experiences I had while overseas.”
That was vague enough, wasn’t it?

Read more snippets on FB:
Poor guy. It was a good answer, though.
Things will get better. 🙂
Poor guy, probably hoping Bear assumes it was PTSD.
Probably. 🙂
Oh dear. Let’s hope Bear is sympathetic and gives him the job.
He will be. 🙂
Poor Joey. Vague indeed, but probably for the best. 🙂
It will all come out, eventually. 🙂
Vague as to details, but pretty clear otherwise, unless Bear is totally clueless.
Time will tell… 🙂
Very vague indeed. I get the feeling Bear won’t be satisfied with that, at least not in the long run. Great snippet
Thank you 🙂
It certainly is vague! I wonder if Bear’s gonna need more than that…
We’ll see. 😀
Vague enough. But I think Bear will see through it 🙂
Probably! 🙂
I understand him asking about the gap, but that answer should be enough said. I wonder if it will be.
I guess we’ll see! 🙂
Heh, good answer. 🙂
Thank you!
That’s actually a pretty good answer. I hope Bear takes it as-is.
I guess we’ll see. 😉
