Lovely, sub-plot to the Anglo-Boer War; and not outside the realms plausibility!

Thank you! I wonder how different it would have turned out if there came peace from something like this happening instead.

Hha! Not very (imho) - we humans will always find something to quibble about...
If it's not the Boers vs English, then it's brother vs brother etc.

Wow! I'm glad @negativer linked this to me. I didn't know about rooinekke before this.. It kind of makes me re-think the pride that southerners wear the term here in the U.S.
The story was intense, and quite tangible. I love it.

Thanks, Caleb! I'm not sure why the Southerns are called Red Necks, though. Maybe along a similar premise?

I think it has something to do with sun burn, but I dunno. It would make sense, because it's only June, and I already look like a lobster :P

As someone with very mixed feelings on war, I love this. Even the person behind the trigger doesn't always want to pull it.

Oh my, @anikekirsten, this is intense... painful... beautifully told. Wow. I truly appreciate the backstory and history on this one. (I always love backstory, and I always love history, but this is particularly poignant.)
As you know, I muffed my account password and am working to recover. Thank you so much for supporting the 50-words challenge with comments while I've been working on fixing this. You are the best!
For the foreseeable future, I am @jaynas-minime.

I love the story, but also the backstory here, and I think it's a good trend to offer some context and additional perspective for some of these 50 word stories; there's so much extra to be learned from that.

I must say I'm going to agree and do so going forward with the 50-worders. Brings the story to life and it's rather enjoyable to get those thoughts out as well. Sort of like an author's introduction to the novel.
