Greetings, Enemy!

As the Union troops closed to within musket range, they fired their single shots and rushed forward yelling, “Hi! Hi! Hi!”





AU: A brief explainer about how they weren't shouting hello? This isn't a war cry you hear much these days.

  3. Karen, your captcha reminds me that I ought to consider the possibility that some of my authors are drunk when they're writing. That would explain a lot in some cases.

  4. I'm glad you're back!

    (although opening with "Hi!" seems rather inappropriate)

  5. I'm glad you're back too! My favorite military history typo was when union troops surrounded St. Petersburg.

Would you be so kind as to also tell me what your Word Verification word is when you comment? Creating a funny definition for it is a bonus. Love, Your Copyeditor.
