Rock

A 2334-Word Short StoryWar is hell...but so is the homefront. How can a man whose life is saved in the war not acknowledge the man who saved him? Rock is a 2334-word short story about a colored World War I veteran who saves a whole white infantry unit. Hezekiah Bennett--nicknamed Rock in the War because he had a head shaped like a rock, all lumpy and dented--is a war hero. But Rock doesn't receive a hero's welcome when he returns to the homefront at War's end.***Also Read Grandpa's Courtship (A Short Story) by Katrina Parker Williams.
