To the Bitter End
by Jim Harrington
Lacking the elemental ethos familiar to the elders of his tribe, the
savage stood, his sword poised to strike, a lone warrior in his efforts
to destroy what had survived for eons. The blade swooped. Bodies
splintered. Armies fell. When the last invader had been conquered,
Bobby paused, then finally spoke.
"Hey, Mom. Is dinner ready?"
THE END
