"Invalid Item"  is a complete novella of about 28,000 words containing much profanity and realistic depiction of the horror and gore experienced in combat. As a patriotic young man, Wayne Felde is influenced by family tradition to enlist in the U. S. Army. He is sent to Vietnam where his unealistic vision of war changes. He becomes a victim of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. His affliction prevents him from resuming a "normal" life upon returning to the United States. Worse, it contributes to his excessive use of hard drugs and alcohol, trial for murder, and imprisonment on Death Row.

Most chapters of this story have been posted in WDC and have been reviewed and critiqued. I am seeking advice as to what more needs done to this work as a whole. Thank you.
