Clover Flashbacks

Thelma takes his hand and leads him a few feet from the grave. She removes a small bowl from the pocket of her jacket and sets it down. From her other pocket she removes a small papersack, and from it takes out a small amount of sage. She places it into a bowl. Then she lifts the bowl up into the air and prays.

“If not us, then who? If not now, then when? Will there be a better day for it tomorrow or next year? Will it be less dangerous then? Will someone else’s children have to risk their lives instead of us risking ours?”

An old man with a suit and tie says, “I’ve been thinking about what you said and I think I can get the other countries to let them return home.”

“For the old king’s death, we are even more mournful than you do.” The general also stepped out and spoke, “but we should put our country in the first place. For your impulsive behavior just now, the old king would also have stopped you if he is still here.”

“How is this flower still in bloom and not covered in snow?” she asked Ralph and Hector.

Emma squeezed her eyes as she fought to keep tears back. It was hard to think about her mother, whom she never lied to her before.

“What if free people could live secure in the knowledge that their security didn’t depend upon the threat of instant U.S. retaliation to deter an enemy attack?”

Placing the bouquet on the ground, Romy wiped away a tear and stepped back under the cover of the umbrella held up by her friend Alex. Tierra put an arm around Romy as a sign of support and the three girls stood in silence watching the heavy raindrops hitting the petals of the large white daisies that Romy had handwrapped in twine earlier that morning.

“You can kill ten of our men for every one we kill of yours. But even at those odds, you will lose and we will win”

This was not a move of cowardice, as I could tell neither of the fighters was intimidated by the other. They had trained for most of their young lives and they were not afraid of anything or anyone. To them this was just another fight.
