📜 “The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.”
— G.K. Chesterton

🕯️ A Chestertonian Introduction
There are ghosts that rattle chains and ghosts that rattle consciences. The latter are far more dangerous.
The Bullet is not a story about war itself, but about the way war follows a man home—quietly, patiently, and without mercy. In the Chestertonian imagination, fate is never merely mechanical, nor death merely accidental. This is a mystery that asks whether survival is always a victory, or whether escape can sometimes feel like a summons long delayed.

🔎 Synopsis
The Bullet is a haunting meditation on fate, guilt, and the inescapable shadow of war. The story follows a Vietnam veteran who believes that somewhere amid the chaos of combat, a single bullet was meant for him—and that it is still on its way.

Years after the war has ended, strange encounters and unsettling visitations convince him that death may not yet be finished with him. As memories resurface and the boundary between the living and the dead begins to blur, the listener is drawn into a chilling question: Can destiny be delayed—or only fulfilled? Like the finest episodes of CBS Radio Mystery Theater, the answer is left suspended in the darkness.
