What a moving and nostalgic story about men going off to and (some) returning from war - you've incorporated the contest's required words in an unforced way and you've stayed within the word limitations well, all while writing an excellent, emotive story. Brooke

What a great story. I liked the usage of the international date line to bring back the yesterday. and then to ponder that some wouldn't get their tomorrow back, very compelling story...Judy

Hi fastdigits,
In this piece of flash fiction you have done an excellent job of creating a brief glimpse of a naval war mission. Despite the required economy of words, the scene is powerfully portrayed, and the somber reality of lives lost is expressed quite tellingly at the end. I hope you will write more on this subject in a longer piece, so that you can bring to readers all of the unique personalities, all the sights, sounds and smells that were a part of this vivid and dramatic experience stored in your memory bank.

What a thought provoking short story. Yes, war is mad. So many young lives lost and for what? If we all could learn to love the world would be a happy safe place.

Well told sad story illustrating the futility of war. Man has been fighting man for centuries and will for centuries to come. It's who we are.
Well done.
Cheers, Jack

Sounds like the musings of a WWII marine. I'm thinking this happened a lot more than people imagined. A great story and it meets the criteria of the contest. Did not spot any SPAG while reading.

Comment from Colette
Well Done,
I can hear all the men saying (if my wife could learn to
tell her stories in just 100 what a happy world this would
be LOL!) I shouldn't have said that, I have lost all female
friends! Ah! thats okay I prefer men anyway.
Your story was fab. you managed to carry me along from beginning to end with no questions left unanswered, thats
my definition of 100 story.
