A WWI era love story
set North Texas
****
“Mr.
Reynolds? Would you say grace?”
Guy
remained frozen, as terrified as he had been at times when he ran for his life,
his rifle cocked and ready, through bombings and gunfire and thick, black,
greasy smoke. He sat there, his heart pounding, his head bursting with the
sound of weapons and explosions, visibly shaking and looking at the cake,
seeing instead, blood, and men’s intestines spilling out, and hearing unearthly
groans and screams.
Hell
couldn’t be much worse, he thought. But he looked up and sought her beautiful
blue eyes, the color of the sky in France when the smoke cleared and the sun
shone on the destruction of war that men inflicted on one another. God help
him, he thought he would cry. No, he thought, with steely determination, I’ll
not let her see my weakness and pain.
“Yes,
ma’am. Let’s bow our heads.”
