Re: Roadblock
Don, feeling consederably better, when offered beer and wine, lies in the grass. He is making his best to look over the little group that will continue further west soon.
"The headache I will get from this is a lot better than the one I have had the last couple of days. I just hope it doesn't double it up. Anyway, that's tomorrow's problems"
Don, makes his way up on his feet. His feet are unsteady, but he refuses to rececive any help rising. Instead he stands up and talks with a raised voice at first, lowering it when he has gotten everyones attention.
"Strange are the ways we have ended up here, and blurry are also the ways we are to follow in the future. I have no worries, however, that you who stay here will make this a very good stronghold, able to withstand any opposition trying to break into this haven. Make everything to get this place a good place to live, for all the people that finds their ways here. Let it be the haven that it is now, and make it even better. Let it be a place like Eden, where no evil shall enter. So keep the snakes away from here. Keep a patient view on anything, and trust eachother. Whatever nation, whatever religion. You have a lot to teach eachother, so take this opportunity to see how alike you are, in an equal environment. War is not everything, officers. Take the chance to be 'normal'. Do not put down your guard, though. Evil is always close, and it takes the opportunity when you feel the most secure."
"For you, Mary, and you others, who will continue on our journey. It will be marvellous to make your aquaintance. Let's have a blast! Hahaha!"
He raises his glass of wine, and salutes each and everyone.
