Campfire
Boys
"These mosquitoes are killing me,"
Face complained. BA grunted his agreement.
"They're not
bothering me." Hannibal grinned around his cigar. "Make a
smudge."
"Huh?"
"A smudge fire.
Didn't you ever go camping when you were kids?" Their young
faces in the firelight reminded him they weren't much more than kids
now.
"In the basement." BA shrugged. Face just
looked disgusted by the idea. Hannibal shook his head. City
boys.
"Let the fire burn down and then cover it with
grass. Smoke'll keep the mosquitoes off."
He watched the
two of them start pulling up the sweet grass they sat on. He'd taught
them so much in Vietnam about how to survive. Now they were home it
was time to start teaching them how to live.
