Alton peered over the distant field
that after tomorrow would never be the same. Blood would be spilled there. Great
machines of death would destroy each other, creating huge craters into which
the blood and bodies of men would fall.
A tear ran down Alton’s cheek.
Yes, tomorrow would play out
using the plans he had developed. He enjoyed the strategies and setting the
pieces on the board in the tent behind enemy lines. But as he panned his binoculars
over tomorrow’s killing ground, he became quite sad and despondent. He always
did.
General Bishop dropped the
binoculars, gritted his teeth, turned to his aide and pointed northwest of
their position.
“Things look ready here lieutenant
. Let’s head over to that hedgerow there.”
As they made their way back to
the jeep, Alton stumbled into a rickety wooden sign that read “Verson”. He wondered if Verson would survive tomorrow.
