I'm relieved on the silliest of levels

I can't believe it but I'm like YES Noah's alive! Even though... of cause I KNEW that! LOL!

Now they have to hurry to put poor Luke out of his agony!

What a complete fudge up on behalf of the army... though I realise Noah and Sam managed to switch items of clothing and dog-tags and that's not the army's fault LOL!...

"What am I going to do, girl? I don't feel like he's gone. Shouldn't something inside of me have changed now that he's gone? Mom always says she knows when something happens to any of us, especially Dad. Noah is the most important person in the world to me. Shouldn't I have felt something that knew Noah was gone before those soldiers showed up?"

Poor Luke and then he's wondering around not knowing what to do with himself.

Aaron feels the remote slip through his hands and fall to his lap as he sees the grainy aerial shots of the camp as the news anchor speaks. He knows this is without a doubt where Noah had been killed.

"Turn it off." Lily's voice is soft, but there is no mistaking the order in it.

I felt like I was right there with them. That was intense.

And even though I knew it, I was still relieved to know it was Noah in that bed

oh, the rest of this death-fic part was just as utterly gut- and heart-wrenching as the first few chapters, if not moreso. i had to stop reading for a moment a couple of times because the screen got too fuzzy.

i'm so glad the mix-up got blown open in this chapter, though, (and that it was indeed a mix-up, lol!) because right about when nick sat down in the back with his notebook, my brain refused to stop ignoring the 'they must have switched dogtags AND clothes in the rush/the guy has blue eyes/etc.' i'm glad i lost the position of the characters so close to when i should have/when they found out, themselves.

one thing, though: i did get pulled out of the story for a moment when it was revealed that noah was in eastern afghanistan -- i had been imagining them in iraq. isn't that part of afghanistan more mountains and farmland, not blazing desert and sandstorms? can you enlighten me? (or maybe i should just google, lol...)

still, great work! i'm so looking forward to seeing what comes next.

I'm glad you were enjoying it. On the location, Moqor is in a dry part of Afghanistan, the summers are brutally hot, getting as high as 140 degrees in some places. The land there grows pretty much nothing and the area does get large sandstorms that blow in. It's not desert, in the sand and dunes sense, but it's pretty arid country there.

okay then. thanks! i did actually try googling it, and the internet was surprisingly unhelpful regarding the climate of eastern afghanistan. it was mostly ignored in favor of northern, and especially southwestern, regions. i did find a couple of youtube vids about sandstorms in eastern afghanistan when i searched for that, though, and most of them were posted by military folks, so that was interesting ( ... )
