And World War III is Among Us
By Shane Stevens
"Captain we're being attacked from all sides. Should we retreat and send for the Egyptians?" ask the Corporal. It was dawn on a cold January morning in the Mesopotamia mountainous region.
"Yes, send for them and get the rest
of the men and head for the other side of the mountain ," said the
Captain.
"Sir, the Egyptians will be here in
two days. They were attacked at the border by the Chinese." said
the Corporal.
"Well, we can hide in the caves of
the Zargros Mountains until they get her."
"We are having a famine, sir, and we
are also having a real bad drought, as you can see, Captain."
"Lieutenant, send some troops to get
some water from the Tigris River."
POW! POW! POW!
"Captain," the Lieutenant
yelled as blood started running down his arm and coming out of his
mouth.
"All this over land," said the
Lieutenant.
"Corporal, write a letter to the
general and tell him that we are surrendering and giving the land to the
Chinese. We Also tell him we have lost to many men and have not enough
supplies to fight any longer and do not forget to add that the
captain is no longer with us. Then write a letter to Egyptians and tell
them they no longer have to fight with us."
"But sir," said the Corporal.
"Don't but me, Corporal. Just do
it," said the Corporal.
