Platoon

“You will all fight,” he avowed.
“You will all fight; you will all be heroes.
But I cannot say you will all return.
Some of you, or perhaps all of you,
will die.”





Write a horror story in 33 words, without the words blood, scream, died, death, knife, gun, or kill.

  2. This would fit nicely into numerous war themed movies...my only quibble is the use of the word "die". Pretty close to "died" ;)

  3. Thank you for your comment. :D always happy to find a clever loop hole. It's a speech that a platoon leader gives his soldiers in an upcoming series I'm writing.
