This is not a combat story, but a recounting of the activities of my father, a transport driver, and his friends in the Australian Army during World War 2. It's the incidents and events they talked about over a drink when they got together to remember the old days. Most are funny, in many ways, and some are frightening. They convey what they did to stay sane, and also why they were there. Included is the poetry by the author, nearly all of which was written whilst on active service. 24,900 words

The Wolfians realize that they have found a unique structure far beyond anything that their technology can duplicate. This is the story of their exploration of only a portion of the Dyson Sphere and how they contribute to the continued viability of the structure. Why explore only a portion of the structure? Consider that this is a sphere 200 million kilometers in diameter! The Wolfians claimed 0.23% of the area, and this is on the order of 1,706 times the size of all of the land area of Earth.

A Character Sketches of Sketchy Characters Story "There is an underlying current that ties all bastards together. It binds them, bonds them, creates a loyalty between them where none existed previously just by their knowledge that the other is as they are. And in that current is a need, a hunger to prove that what was denied them was deserved all along." - Jurna, the Merchant
Kelly's Heroes is one of my favorite movies. So when I sat down to write this, I wrote it from a modern warfare perspective and put the first scene starting after they had the money and were escaping. The end of the story is what they did with the reward money. I left a bit of room for sequel, but I'll only write it if there's enough interest. Hope you enjoy and please let me know if you like it or what I can do better...

A Thank You Note Story This is my thank you note for those men who served in WWI. I had two great-uncles who were in France, and one was gassed, but survived. He fought a battle with what mustard gas had done to his lungs for the rest of his life. This is a what-if kind of story. Suppose the US Army had used a little imagination. What might have happened then? One squad tests out an idea. Read what might have happened.
