  • Court Martial

    “Bill, we need to see the captain.” Sergeant Bill Asher wondered why it was that all the civilians treated him like a secretary. He was Captain Slater’s adjutant, and as such, he outranked even the battalion commanders. It didn’t matter much. Let the civvies think whatever they needed to. “No, you don’t. You’d like to…

    A warm front moves in on Christmas Day and brings some unwanted guests to Zyracuse Central.

  • Killin’ Stuff
