The Two Unlucky Soldiers

[jmberry]

July 3, 1754
Fort Necessity, Pennsylvania

George Washington was not a happy man. The French were coming in from everywhere, it seemed. From what George could see, it appeared that the French outnumbered his men by six, though they were constantly moving around in the trees so it was hard to be sure.

"George!"

George turned to see MacKay, the other officer at Necessity.

"Yes, MacKay?"

"We need to surrender George. Our position is untenable, the French outnumber us, the men's morale is shot."

George sighed. They would have to surrender. Before he could say anything to MacKay, however, he felt a sudden lump in his head. As MacKay's eyes widdened in horror, George put a hand to the back of his head, and felt blood. George Washington sighed, slumped down, and let the darkness embrace him.
