It won an award in the creative non-fiction category of the Canadian Stories Competition. There are many such stories rattling around in my head and a compilation of them might make an interesting book.(less)

Yuri and the Pig by C.W. Lovatt
"Yuri and the Pig is the story of an ideological farmer who leaves his sheltered life in a mountain village to embark on an epic journey to the Capital with his pig. When confronted by the horror and insanity of war, Yuri is determined to remain detac" Read more of this review »
Yuri and the Pig by C.W. Lovatt
"A most thought-provoking story about war and its effects on the common person's life - a side not usually presented in wartime. It is both tragic and humorous in its humanity and portrayal of the atrocities of war on a community. Well worth the read."

This is the third book of Mr Cheek's that I've read and have yet to be disappointed. The SpiritSense series is wickedly clever and I only wish I'd thought of it first! Now, if I could only convince him to get the dog more involved ... ;)
Read it. High

It”
C.W. Lovatt, The Adventures of Charlie Smithers

“To them it was a holy crusade; not just a right, but a veritable duty, no less than an obeisance to God’s commandment.”

“If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”
Stephen King
