In "In the Dark," a western journalist’s unexpected gift—a High-Standard Model 10 semiautomatic shotgun—lands in the hands of Sgt. Harker during a tense mission in the jungles of Vietnam, where every shadow could hide a threat. The story captures the quiet tension of survival, as Harker puts the weapon to use in ways that speak louder than words.
