CUBA: AMERICAN OUTPOST, 2300 HOURS
Private Carter stood, slowly, and untied the tent’s entrance to let in some warm, tropical breeze and moonlight. Outside, the olive canvas of other tents was illuminated by torches, and a feeling of calm had sunk over the camp like a heavy cloud of tropical fog. A slow breeze rustled through the jungle undergrowth.
“Hot tonight.” The words dripped from his mouth like spit.
Private Smith placed his mud splattered boots on the desk and gave Carter a caustic look, his cigarette illuminating his sturdy, stubbled face. His voice was husky.
“Can I continue?”
In a slow, powerful, voice he continued.
“ “Tuesday, president Bill Major will visit Victory Pines Nursing Center to congratulate the locally famous octogenarian bingo champion Rutherford Mund on his recent winning spree, and spread support for the upcoming elections. Members of the local Flower Farm Commune state that they will be there to protest the War in Vietnam.” ”
Smith crushed his cigarette out on the article sourly, and rose.
“Yeah, they would, those commie pinkos. No support for the home team these days. I got to take a leak.”
“ ‘kay.” Carters eyes were being pushed slowly to the ground by the heat.
Smith walked out into the tender night to empty his bladder, feet from the tent, in the deep mud at the edge of the Jungle.
Another breeze rustled through the growth, and the foliage sighed.
A small crunch sounded from outside.
“Smith?” But before an answer came, Carter was pressed deep into the mud slowly losing consciousness.
In a matter of seconds, the tent was empty, lifeless. Smith’s cigarette smoldered silently on the empty desk. The newspaper was gone.
