It is Pearl Harbour Day now in Australia.
My father served in the field ambulance of the 2nd 14th Battalion of the Second Australian Imperial Force in 1945. He camped in Morotai for three weeks in June before sailing to the war’s final major battle, the second Battle of Balikpapan.
This story imagines what might have happened if someone like my dad had made friends with General Douglas MacArthur.
If we are to be free, than our imaginations must be free.
Pure pointless fiction.
Let us know how you feel...
Interesting read. Thanks for posting.
Have you no imagination, no wish for simple joy? No poetry in your soul?
This is a fiction, yes, but a beautiful surmise, a pleasant wish. Both for a harmony of humanity and a celebration of G_d’s creation.
I pity you in your mire. Dreams, wishes and hopes are both G_dly and human. We can wish to better ourselves and to honour G_d, and work to be less sinful. THAT is what I see in this short tale.
You must not have ever heard the story that I made up about the time me and George Washington talked about a bunch of stuff one time.
There could have been a witty, clever, and intellectually stimulating reply here, but it is obviously redundant.
