I only read the first one but it was very powerful.

There is a lot here that is very intriguing. It's solid writing, well-written, with good follow through. I couldn't help but think, though, that the teabag might need to steep for a while longer, so to speak. The stories are very good, but they feel like they need several more layers of complexity. For instance, The Death of Innocence would benefit from a sense of the larger context-- which war? Memories of Tomorrow needs similar backstory. Either there is something between the characters that we aren't seeing, or this encounter is much more mundane than the narrator seems to think it is. I would love to see these stories down the line somewhere, when they have been fleshed out and enriched a bit.

Powerful stuff and I like the way you flashback to your home and childhood, etc.  Great stuff!
