Short Story Wednesday Review: Bleed American by John Kenyon

  

While Facebook is problematic these days, especially with all the AI moderation garbage and AI fake generated pages and other issues, every now and then, the Facebook Memories deal is worth the slog into the past. Such is the case here with this review on a story from September 2011.

 

I have always been seriously annoyed by folks who felt it was okay to hang the American flag behind the couch, thumb tack the flag to the dining room wall, etc. Apparently, no nonsense Foley feels the same way in “Bleed American” published at Shotgun Honey yesterday. It isn’t just about the flag. Principle is very important and apparently Kyle does not get it in this short story written by John Kenyon. A quick and good read well worth your time.

 

Surf over to Shotgun Honey, if you haven’t already, at https://shotgunhoney.com/fiction/bleed-american-by-john-kenyon/  and read “Bleed American.” It isn’t the only good short story there. Just the most recent.
