Low on provisions.
The Longest Day
by Sally Law
The battle had been hellacious, the enemy pounding us into submission with artillery fire.
Our wounded were suffering; food and supplies were scarce.
I sent word by messenger requesting provisions. My trusted lieutenant courageously volunteered to ride along.
The lookout was to alert me as soon as help arrived.
The afternoon sun revealed a wagon kicking up dust as it made haste to our encampment.
It was my sister, bearing Kool-Aid, Oreos and bologna sandwiches.
