Why this must be read:
When I was thinking of what I wanted to rec this month this story immediately leapt to mind... and then I tried to talk myself in to one of Callisto’s other stories instead. After all, all of her stories are a pleasure to read (look at those links up there) because her sense of the lads, the way they think, speak and act is always spot on. I went, I read again and I still kept coming back to this story.
Logically the odds on both the lads surviving CI5 weren’t very good and here Callisto imagines, in a deceptively simple story, Bodie’s response to being the one left behind.
“The wind gusted, biting its way through the jacket he’d left unzipped. Bodie turned the collar up and hunched into it. His eyes were resolutely on the headstone in front of him as a drop of mist made its way slowly down his nose. Typical. Couldn’t have managed this in spring, could you, sunshine?”

I'm not usually much of one for character death stories but this one just got to me and I had to rec it.
Did you see my last rec for Halo's Sighting? I think it's a story that might appeal to you.
