Soldier of Fortune



Synopsis: The story is told from Josh's first-person POV nearly twenty years later. He's reviewing the story because Holly--the girl for whom he has a huge crush--has just been killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. We learn about Josh through his actions and reactions to Holly and her so-called situation. The details are revealed slowly throughout the telling of the story but Holly had given birth to a child when she was just fifteen and her parents tried to pass Sam off as their late-in-life child. Then there was a terrible accident with little Sam that threatened to tear apart the Hensley family yet again. Josh's family seemed stable and this family with trials and tribulations next door fascinated and frightened Josh. And, when the death of Holly is told to him, Josh recalls those events from 1986. Some historical details are nicely woven into the story as well. "Soldier of Fortune" was first published in the winter 2011 issue of Glimmer Train and subsequently included in the Best American Short Stories 2011. Favorite line: "The edges of her curtains were again framed in moonlight, and in the shallow glow, our skin looked new and smooth and unblemished, ready for the scars that were lying, somewhere, in ambush.".
