Title: Triptych
Category: DEATH
 A series of three short stories, in each of which one of the three main characters die. The survivors have to deal with the emotions as the breaking of the emotional (and sometimes sexual) triangle is broken.
 1.  If I Forget Thee (the best one): B is dead. C visits B’s father trying in vain to make him take some interest in his son.  During a confrontation with the devastated D, it turns out that C had been B’s lover but B had left him for D. C and D are somehow reconciled by acknowledging that B was a link between them. 
 2.  I Sent a Letter: C is dead, and D receives a posthomous letter where C asks him to take care of B, who is a bomb waiting to explode. B comes around, finds out about the letter, and reads it. Only then, after 15 years as lovers, and in a letter addressed to D, C could admit that he loved B.  Despite the explosion, D is there to pick up the pieces, as he loves B too. 
 3.  Whose Grief…?  D is dead in a sniper’s shooting and B blames himself and C, because he loves (unrequited) C – instead of protecting the exposed D, B instinctively went to cover C.  Totally upset, B threatens C with a gun but can’t shoot and breaks down. C feels pity but that’s all there is.

Title: Choices
 DEATH
 So, it was just a one night stand?
 
 Yeah. Thought that was obvious…I mean, we were stone drunk, weren’t we? I can’t even remember a pretty good half of it.
 
 I see. Bodie gulped down his pint, and made a face, just as if he was drinking warm water.
 
 Feel that bad? Doyle asked in a rush. His own glass was abandoned on the table.
 
 Blue eyes, limpid and dark at the same time, absolute blue, stared at him for a very silent while. “This beer tastes like piss, I tell you.”
 
 Doyle saw the white in Bodie’s knuckles, the white in his eyes, so shining and absolute, too. So, the beer tasted bad. Doyle glanced sideways, briefly, then his eyes were back on his partner. “Shall we go, then?”
 
 Bodie didn’t answer him. At least, not as he used to answer him, with a joke, or more often a heartfelt protest, feigning a laziness Doyle knew wasn’t really true. Instead, Bodie just got up, turning to go, hand already holding the car keys, holding them tight, holding them so tight in his fist it must have hurt him, it must have…
 
 …it was a small drop of blood, what Doyle was seeing, wasn’t it?
 
 But then, they were already out in the sun, in the first warm day of a
 mild June, bright and sunny and joyous. The Capri was parked right there, and they were inside the car in no time, and Bodie was already pushing it at
 impossible speed, and the R/T was beeping and another hard afternoon of work had started.
 
 There was no time to say anything more, and they didn’t say anything more.
 
 *****
 
 Three days later, Bodie made a choice.
 
 He leaped forward past the brick wall that was protecting him, and stepped in front of Doyle.
 
 The round of bullets hit him full in the chest and throat.
 
 His death came slowly and messily.
 
 *****
 
 Bodie’s relatives never answered the letter Cowley had sent them.
 
 So, Doyle personally chose the tombstone and what it would be written on it. The ceremony was short. Bodie didn’t have many friends, and most of them were dead anyway.
 
 The tombstone read: “Never a Lover, Always a Friend.”
 
 Nobody asked any questions.
 
 ****
 
 Five months later, Doyle had to choose a course of action.
 
 Wait for backup, or go inside the mansion where two components of an group of international terrorists were supposedly hiding.
 
 He decided not to wait. There were five terrorists inside the house, he discovered, and two hostages. The hostages died along with a fellow agent, and the terrorists escaped.
 
 ****
 
 Two months after that, Doyle decided to resign from CI5.
 
 ****
 
 Three months later, one year after Bodie’s death, Doyle decided to put the barrel of a .44 Magnum inside his mouth and pulled the trigger.

Title: Soldier’s Song, A
Category: POEM
Plot summary (very short pieces are sometimes copied here in their entirety): I thought I was a man outside the law. I fought because the life I knew was fighting, I did not care what I was fighting for. I thought that love could only make me weaker, I thought that feeling nothing made me strong; But I have learned to love another soldier, And now I know the things I “knew” were wrong. I have learned that our love makes us stronger, I know that his makes me a better man; And ‘though our lives and words are often bitter, I have learned to stay where once I ran. I have learned to look beyond the moment, To dare to need to know my cause is just; A cause which will be worth a lifetime’s fighting, A cause that we can die for if we must. And so because that price might be demanded; I have learned to prize the love we give, For after almost twenty years of dying, It’s only now that I have learned to live.
