Wow! I'm glad @negativer linked this to me. I didn't know about rooinekke before this.. It kind of makes me re-think the pride that southerners wear the term here in the U.S.
The story was intense, and quite tangible. I love it.
Oh my, @anikekirsten, this is intense... painful... beautifully told. Wow. I truly appreciate the backstory and history on this one. (I always love backstory, and I always love history, but this is particularly poignant.)
As you know, I muffed my account password and am working to recover. Thank you so much for supporting the 50-words challenge with comments while I've been working on fixing this. You are the best!
I love the story, but also the backstory here, and I think it's a good trend to offer some context and additional perspective for some of these 50 word stories; there's so much extra to be learned from that.
I must say I'm going to agree and do so going forward with the 50-worders. Brings the story to life and it's rather enjoyable to get those thoughts out as well. Sort of like an author's introduction to the novel.
Lovely, sub-plot to the Anglo-Boer War; and not outside the realms plausibility!
Thank you! I wonder how different it would have turned out if there came peace from something like this happening instead.
Hha! Not very (imho) - we humans will always find something to quibble about...
If it's not the Boers vs English, then it's brother vs brother etc.
Unfortunately so.

Thanks, Caleb! I'm not sure why the Southerns are called Red Necks, though. Maybe along a similar premise?
I think it has something to do with sun burn, but I dunno. It would make sense, because it's only June, and I already look like a lobster :P
As someone with very mixed feelings on war, I love this. Even the person behind the trigger doesn't always want to pull it.
I love your pause at the ending... and the great ending! :D
Thank you also for the painless history lesson... :D
😄😇😄
Haha, you're welcome. History fascinates me and there's so much story potential from it so I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading!

For the foreseeable future, I am @jaynas-minime.
Thank you, Jayna! And you're most welcome.
You're the first to know. I'm ba-aaack! My account is officially recovered. Yippeee!
Awesome! Excellent news and I'm so glad you got your account back!
