Nice story. You had me on edge as I read of the excitement and the danger portrayed on the battlefield. I really enjoyed this action-driven story. Good luck.

Thank you for the great review, Maria. I really appreciate the generous stars. Yeah, whenever I write stories rather than poetry I like to pack them with action. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Have a great day.
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
LOL! Hahahahaaaa.... Brilliant! Hilarious ending. I NEVER saw that coming. No one could have. I love it. It's so silly, and I'm a huge fan of silliness. You nailed it. Hope you win THIS contest, too. You have my vote. :)

Comment from LyndaS
Defeated the whole Russian/Chinese army? Where were you trained, soldier? University of Fanstory? This is a clever, well written little story with a quirky ending that I enjoyed. You write action very well. I easily pictured this whole thing, start to a funny ending. Well done! Fingers crossed for your booth. Lynda

Comment from LisaMay
What a hero! You do drama and ridiculous situations very well in a recognisable style, so I know who you are wink wink. This has got 'winner' written all over it, to go with the one your wife's cell phone call told you of.

Comment from giraffmang
Hi there,
it may be an idea to insert some clear lines between paragraphs. Can make for a cleaner write which is more easily followed on screen. Whilst not so important in a short piece, folk do have a tendency to skip blocks of unbroken text.
this was World War 3.- minor here but I'd be inclined to use roman numerals here as this is how WWI & WWII are normally presented.
mother of my soon to be child- maybe hyphenate soon-to-be.
I have to admit that I felt completely let down by the ending. I get it's intended as ridiculous but even so.

Comment from moonsunrise
What a vividly described story of WW3. The image is strong and forthright. I am so happy that your story had a happy, not tragic ending. While reading, I feared this.
Thanks so much for sharing.
Well done!

Comment from Bill Pinder
That is a humorous story with a flash fiction type ending. Great job with your creativity and starting out with a very serious situation and ending up on a much lighter note. Good luck in winning a contest.
