Today we're getting a bit dark to commemorate the halfway point of Inktober; this here is Ted Lavender, a secondary character from Tim O'Brien's critically acclaimed novel The Things They Carried, which is slowly becoming one of my favorites. The character is a scared one, and has to take tranquilizers and what is described in the novel as, "premium dope" to cope with the horrors of war. And at one point he snags a puppy!
The dark part comes in when you've actually read the novel. It doesn't take much longer than the first chapter to realize that Ted here has an unfortunate end.
And so does the puppy ;-;
