50 Word Story - The Scout

Another publishing success!  Fifty Word Stories is a website that publishes stories with, yes you've guessed it, exactly 50 words.  It's my first time on their website and with one of my favourite little tales too.  Happy face.

and here's the story itself:-

CHRIS REDFERN: The Scout

 

The scout was young, only fourteen, and he was one of the best.
Countless times he’d saved his people from both ambush and defeat, but when the arrow took him, their fate, like his own, was sealed.
The enemy scout lowered his bow. He was young, only thirteen, but better.
