Short Story #2 (An Eye for an Eye Makes the Whole World Blind)

My name is Jergen Knotts. There’s a fascinating, gory, and thought provoking story I wish to convey to any who choose to read. It starts with the fight of WW1. I was the head leader, and on the day of battle I told my minions what our motto would be. “An Eye for an Eye,” is what I said. My darling wife Sarah, before battle, conveyed to me that she was concerned for my motto, and that if we lost she would yell out her window, that overlooked the scene, why. I hugged her, and went on my way. As the war started we did exceptionally well. Then as we neared midpoint something went wrong, and all failed. Our enemy started to gouge out the eyes of my men, and then in turn and remembrance of our motto they did the same. At last every single one of my men, and the opposing sides men lay on the ground, blind as a bat, and as hurt as hurt could be. My heart ached with pain as I heard my dear wife Sarah yell out, “My dear husband. Remember this. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”
