Defeat

This is my contribution to the Shortest Short Story contest on the Washwords site. I hope y'all like it.




I bet Washington didn’t use words like this when talking to his troops, Private Ward thought, listening while the sergeant hurled obscenities at the men of C Company. Then again, his men won their battle.

This one is indeed short. My entry doesn't stand a chance. LOL.

Thanks for the comment Angel. Will be making the necessary corrections now.

Don't say that. I enter stuff all the time and have yet to have a story published or win a contest...lol. You have more of a chance than me probably!

You are being kind Angel,

I know I still need a lot to learn. First, English is not my primary language. Secondly, I was brainwashed by my studies in Medicine that a straight forward and dull sentences would make good conversational skills. hehehe

I'm sure you'll get it soon, and be churning out stories a mile a minute!

Okay, I can control myself, I am getting a rush from your comments.

I'm sure I am just star struck that you are still commenting back.

Anyway, I will be looking forward to your brilliant pieces.

LOL, you sure do know how to make someone feel good. I'm never been called brilliant before...lol.

I'll keep an eye on your blog as much as I can, and help if possible.

Yep, got notification. I'll look in a little while. I'm working on some articles right now.

I was kind of looking for "Continue Reading" note/link but there's none. Indeed, real "short" story. ^^

It was for a contest to see how short you could make the story...lol.
