Hi Flamers! While I fully intended to write a self-contained little short-story, that isn't at all what happened.

I'm so glad you like it! The world was really unintentional. It started as a mundane camping trip!

One last:
I extended my hand to each of them.

Don't make the soldierboys share. Not on the first day. It's just cruel.

Thank you so much for your edit. I have not forgotten about yours. I'm so sorry. I've been sick since Thursday and am now trying to dig myself out of how behind I've gotten as a result of being in bed all weekend. I have much to say about your entry. It was beautiful.
