ISLAND IN THE SAND
Part XVI
Sol and Tal emerged from the opening carrying what appeared to be long-barreled weapons. Each boy squeezed through the opening carrying one of the weapons vertically. The weapons were almost as long as the boys were tall.

My brother impressed upon me the most effective combat tactic utilized in the A Shua valley. How it began with a plan to cut a supply line, followed by securing a known access point. The key then to its implementation riding upon the expectation borne of an experienced warrior…in other words, a carefully considered verifiable situation as would lead to indicate…the logical presence of an experienced, albeit still unseen point man! Thus, with nothing more than this assumption alone, can the tactic be set in motion…revealed only as the little laugh, made in unconscious agreement to the difference between both…the living, and the non-living entities still waiting out there unseen, just beyond an open door! If I’d never had my brother…I’d surely been eaten already, as just another cherry on top of just desserts! My compliments should come as no surprise to you, Jim!
Well, no, your compliments are not a complete surprise, not with the display of your own capability in writing on this site.
Nice to have a pro like you say nice things though. Really nice. Glad to return that favor, by the way…

“Before we can conquer the outside, we have to conquer the inside, which means conquering ourselves.”
Absolutely so true.
Awesome chapter, James.
Thank you for sharing.
Nancy
Thank you so much, Nancy, for your support.
I understand you are writing your memoirs.
Nancy Lou Henderson
Keep up the great work!
Jim
James thank you so much for mentioning and sharing my website. I am totally humbled and it means so much to me. One thing I know for sure, what you do is very hard work.
You have such a God-given gift! Everything you write is just Amazing!
God Bless and He loves you very much.
Thank you again. Prayers and love for you always.
Nancy
How could I not mention anything about you Nancy Lou Henderson? Most authors don’t get ‘fans’ much in the realm of where
you circulate…in the high clouds well above my very being… and I cannot thank you enough for the horsepower you
lend me in motivation and care. You are correct in that I am not doing this just for me. At my age I don’t really have
the time or the desire to become famous anymore and maybe it is better that I never did from other pursuits. I never met
anybody who experienced much in the way of bliss and fame at the same time. Thanks for being there for me little pebble…

An unsecured armory sounds like trouble waiting to happen. I also find myself wondering if it is the ONLY armory. I also wonder if there are other weapons they haven’t discovered.
This could be an never ending story. Well done.
Yes, that is true Pete, but the world is filled with unsecured armories to this very day.
Try to mountains of Ecuador or South Africa. The armories on Oahu in Hawaii are not that secure either.
Funny how that works. Those people who work among those tools but don’t really use them in the heat of combat
tend to just take them for granted. Like police and their sidearms.
