"A Souvenir of War" by Mandible (" mandible"@deaths.door). I had read my first-ever Mandible story, and it was good. But then I figured maybe he had got lucky. I figured this because my grammar guide says never to say "gotten" - and also because the story I had read was about him getting lucky. So I figured I should read another story by this author.

Well, one thing's for sure. Mandible is not a one-dimensional writer. This story is the ultimate rape story. As I read this story, I kept saying to myself, "The writing is interesting, but he's not explaining this very clearly." Then in the second-last paragraph everything became perfectly clear. This is another excellent story.
