Yet to come

It was a tall room, but it had to be. With five star Generals, came five star ego’s. And he had to please all of them.

“Mr President.”

They all stood so striaght at least one of them had to break their back. But if someone had, no-one showed it.

“This way Mr President.”

Each standing taller than the other, he couldn’t fully grasp it was all in vein as soon as he entered the room. The phone call only came through last night. 36 hours isn’t enough to get used to this new title.

As he followed his escort he couldn’t help but look at the map of continents dominating the main wall, dominating the whole room. Even with the ego’s. The fact it was no longer green confirmed all he needed to know. The task that now lie ahead was all to clear.

What the map now showed as red, was obviously theirs. What was shown as black, would be.

    Seriously, have you played Defcon ? Once again reminded me of that game. There are a couple of typos in there, you might want to fix, but besides this is a really nice story. Could even tie in with your other ficlet.

    Haven’t played defcon, but I’m glad that you were able to understand the story and see where I was going with it.
    Both this and ‘Machine’ were inspired by a ficlet called ‘The Fifteenth’, but I felt I should get a few of my own ficlets down and see what reaction they get before doing any proper prequels/sequels.
