Not expecting to win anything, but when you're inspired you might as well share.

Yeah no problem

And really? That's funny because I had just finished reading Keegan's The Face of Battle, and he has a whole section on the battle of the Somme. Then I come here and you have your "paper." And I feel ya on the correcting haha... I hate that. I always try to get someone else to do it

And hey, it's all for the imagination. It's always interesting to see what people have mulling around in their head.

Interesting story Lemur. It kind of reminds me of There Will Be Blood but focusing on all the moments between the dad and the son.

I really enjoyed both. Very different styles, both good stories.

Hey all.

Unsticking the thread to tidy up around here. This place has gotten so dusty.

Continue to post all comments/critiques you have on the entries! With luck we'll have more before the week is up.
