| Summary | "Homecoming" by Miguel Hidalgo is a science fiction narrative likely written in the mid-20th century. The book explores themes of love, loss, and the futility of war in a post-apocalyptic setting. It centers around the journey of a soldier returning home after a catastrophic global conflict, highlighting his memories and the stark reality he faces upon arrival. The story follows a soldier who has endured the devastation of World War III and is determined to return to his wife and home after years of fighting. As he travels through a desolate landscape that was once vibrant, he recalls his past life, filled with love and hope. However, upon reaching his destination, he is confronted with a horrifying reality: the home he longed for is now inhabited by a monstrous creature, a stark contrast to the life he remembered. The narrative culminates in a powerful reflection on the permanence of loss and the bittersweet nature of memory, as the soldier grapples with the notion that nothing can last forever, not even love.
