Short Stories

[SlingerDun]

I stumbled across a few well written short stories by, Mike McFerrin on the Mike 3/5 website that dont take a Mud Marine to appreciate. You gotta dig around in the archives (i forgot where) but there around somewhere.

we were moveing into posission for a block. all the details are sorte of foggy.. its been a few years but anyway i was pointing and on the way went by a cupple tunnels. and as it wasnt my turn to rat moved on up ahead..i think all three plts were with us that day because the 6 was with us...uppon 2nd plt comeing to the tunnels they desided to investigate so a rat was chosen.. uppon his starting to enter the tunnel he heard movement in the hole , so the 6 had his kit karson scout tell who ever was in the tunnel to come on out and give his or their selves up...after a bit of viet chatter the scout said "him say him not come out" the 6 told the scout "you tell him if he doesnt come out we will frag the tunnel...so the scout bent down and translated into the tunnel... listend for a little then said "him say him still not come out"...6 told the scout tell him one last chace to come out..."scout translates listens then repeats "him say him not come out
so a frag was tossed into the tunnel ( all the time info on ths was being relayed by radio to the brass in the rear)...after the frag went off and the dust settled a little the rat went in....after a bit a cupple shots were heard the a paus then the rat came out packing a slitly wounded chicken...and handed it to the 6 who therw it to the groung and jumped on it the said into the radio...we have one confermed kianva chicken
