Men Who Follow Spring by Randomalia (R)

Why this must be read:
This is a compact ficlet, written with an economy of phrase but still deeply layered with meaning. It is a richly painted image of Kennedy's life as a boy in Scotland and a chilling picture of what his life became behind the wooden walls of the Royal Navy. Broken fragments of the past mixing with the present in a mosaic of smell and sound and light.
Beautifully crafted.
