Exceptional Fictional War Story contest entry I Had My Reasons by DragonSkulls      ~War Story ~ (fiction) Contest Winner

Shortly after the Vietnam War began in 1955, I decided to trade sides and become an interpreter for the United States government. Throughout the war, I was one of the most valuable assets the army had. I would decode transmissions, translate and execute my duties with precise accuracy. I was damn good at my job. Over the course of the twenty year war, countless Vietcong died because of my own strategic abilities and geological knowledge. I delved deep into the workings of the United States military. I knew where, when and how any actions were carried out and the history of nearly every past excursion. There was very little I didn't know. Being granted asylum in 1975, I settled in a small town in Ohio after the war. I was pretty much a loner, didn't look to find friends or a woman to grow old with. I just kept to myself for years. I knew what I wanted in life. I had goals. It took a lot of planning but one by one I reached those goals. When I had all the info and intel I needed, there was no stopping me. There was an eight man squad in Vietnam in 1955. In 1979, I mercilessly killed every single one of them while they begged for their lives. The last words they ever heard were, "This is for raping and murdering my beloved wife and little girl before you burned my village to the ground. You should have made sure I was dead. Now hell awaits your arrival."   Writing Prompt ~READ ALL RULES ~ Write a fictional war story of 600 words or less.
