Story

"Alone in a crowd, cold in the summer, he hated life. He hated how everybody ignored him, but then hated when they pestered him. He hated the smile of a stranger, but sometimes wished that they’d stop to just say hello."

Encounter at Shiloh

at Writers Ranch

Across the field opposite him sat another solider atop a golden palomino. He had watched the Johnny Reb’s every move. Thinking to fill his canteen himself from the only unpolluted water in the area. As he watched the solider relax on the green carpet beside the creek he began to quietly make his way across the field to the cool shade that beckoned.

As he approached the sleeping solider, he saw that the young solider was possibly as you as himself. Not wanting to disturb the man’s precious slumber after the bloody battle they both had fought and tired of the fighting himself, he quietly left his horse and made his way to the creek’s edge.

In the distance a cannon fired, startling both men. The battle it seemed was back on.

Spotting the man across the creek from him, the rebel solider jumped up, drawing his side arm as he did so. The Yankee solider startled even more by the Reb’s sudden movement pulled both of the pearl handle colts he wore. The men stood and stared at each other, neither making another move.

“Kid?” the Yankee officer said as he stared at he scruffy looking rebel.

“Jimmy?” the rebel officer responded back, his eyes not believing he was seeing the man he loved like a brother.
