===A Casualty of War===<br />
<br />
The short story Brian contributed is entitled ''A Casualty of War'', and it is about 3 pages long. It is a narrative told from the point of view of a 6-year-old boy living in Liverpool during World War II. The war has just ended, and the boy and his friend Georgie are watching a convoy of United States troops parade through the street. After watching several U.S. films, the only thing the boy wants to try is American bubble gum, and manages to succeed in acquiring some Juicy Fruit from a passing grinning soldier. Celebrating with his friends on the nearby curb, a Highland sergeant accidently tramples the boy's foot. Right as he panics, his Uncle Charlie arrives, takes him home and applies medical attention, claiming the child is a now true war-wounded soldier.<br />
