A young U.S. Army officer who’s served in Afghanistan finds himself suffering from intermittent bouts of “hysterical” temporary blindness due to impossible and deadly orders he was forced to obey by high command in the field. When he’s reunited with his fiancée in a military hospital in Germany after being separated for more than year, the couple are encouraged by doctors to travel to Venice, Italy together. There, amongst the canals and the cafes, they try to rekindle their love and fight off their personal demons while trying to comprehend the enormity of the heartbreaking role they now must play in love and war.

This was a wonderfully written short about what a couple must go through to reconnect after a tour in Afghanistan changes an Army officer. 

The short is written from the officer’s point of view and demonstrates the mindset of a wounded soldier trying to come to grips with not only his injury (perceived or otherwise) and what his life is like now, the guilt over his order to bomb an Afghan village but also dealing with the changes in his significant other.  It’s not until he’s able to deal with all those that he’s able to remember everything that he loved and why.
