Jungle Outpost #3

 

        While the main camp was secretly being infiltrated, a few young soldiers had gone down to the river the try to cool off and wash some of the sweat from their bodies.  The hot humid weather was the most unbearable part of this war.  With the lack of combat, these soldiers had been taking the war more like a vacation, ignoring the rules and basically doing whatever they pleased.


        Martin was the one assigned to do the lookout for the others.  He rowed his boat over to a secluded spot where he could keep an eye on his unit, but the instead of staying awake and alert, he casually laid back and took a nap while the warm sun tanned his handsome young body.  As the twenty ear old relaxed in the peacefully calm waters, an enemy soldier slowly waded to the young man's boat.

        Martin felt a shadow pass between him and sun.  He opened his eyes only to see the enemy standing over him with a bayonet attached to his rifle.  In a single, quick jab, the bayonet rammed deep into the young soldier's gut.  His head jolted up up briefly as the blade sank deep into his bowels.  A few spasms from his gut wreaked through his body before he finally stilled.
