mmm, that would not be scrumptious.. but that is the point of the challenge.:) This is very creative, for cannibalism and not brains. I’m glad I ate a while ago..

MJY,

You did ask me to critique your story for historical accuracy.

The battle of waterloo was fought on Sunday June 16-19 in 1815. The protagonist were the forces of the seventh coalition, consisting of the United Kingdom, Russia, Austria and Prussia vs. the Reconstituted French army. As the battle was fought in Belgium, there was remarkably little snow that June.

This story could be appropriate for the retreat from Russia in 1812, but the French were expelled from Russian territory by 14 December 1812, so Christmas dinner would be a little late if that was happening in Russia.

But I commend you on an excellent story well conceived and executed. I am reminded of what Mark Twain is reported to have said. “Too many good stories are spoiled by over verification”.

dang duckie i know you did all this from memory too. lol you are awesome.

Historically accurate? As RYD showed, not really.

Entertaining (if slightly disturbing)? Definitely!

Favourite line: “My frozen crushed heart soared at the feast of friends before me.” Just something about it. I don’t know.

thanks text..duckie was at the battle of waterloo so he would know…hehehhe
just messin wit ya duckie.

ok i need to make a correction to my comment. Sunday did not last from June 16 to 19.

And if I am 150 years old I would have been born in 1859, so I was too little to have served in any active capacity.

Unless of course I am OLDER than 150. Which I will neither confirm or deny.

One of the troubling thngs about being REALLY old is that no one believes me when I do Impressions. I got a great Abraham Lincoln, but no one recognizes it. I’m still trying to get my John Adams down, but it just doesn’t seem to come out right
