You Don't Miss Your Water

Two Vietnam veterans return to a country that no longer recognizes them, searching for ordinary life in a world that feels alien. Jobs won't materialize, old relationships strain under silence, and the ordinary rhythms of civilian existence feel impossibly distant. When a stranger offers work that trades on their particular skill set, the calculus of survival shifts. The offer isn't salvation. It's something darker, more familiar.
