"...sometimes remembering will lead to a story, which makes it forever. That's what stories are for. Stories are for joining the past to the future. Stories are for those late hours in the night when you can't remember how you got from where you were to where you are. Stories are for eternity, when memory is erased, when there is nothing to remember except the story.”

I actually remember reading this short story in a magazine a long time ago. What a story. The collection it's in now sits on a shelf with other favorites to the right of my writing desk.

Have you read Michael Herr's "Dispatches?"

I found the whole collection just stunning....some of the best writing i've encountered in a long while.

Dispatches is on the list...just not got to it yet :)
