Chapter 1 Private Charles "Chuck" Manley's chest swelled with pride as he pulled on his blue woolen uniform after washing his face in the slow-moving waters of Bull Run Creek. "I can't believe I am actually a member of the Union Army and that we are about to do battle against the gray-clad soldiers of the Confederacy!" He thought to himself while enjoying a hearty breakfast. A gun roared in the distance, and suddenly a cannonball flew by, knocking his donut from his hand. It landed on the ground and got all covered with dirt and mud, making it all gross and stuff. It was going to be a long war.

This could be an interesting story. Nate should definitely get points for creativity.

It is going to be a long story (XD)Were there donuts back in the 1860s? (or does Nate just want his characters to eat donuts now and then?)

…..I can almost hear the cannon-guy saying to his buds up on the Rebel’s line: “Hey, watch me knock the donut out of that pompous-looking a##h***’s hand with one shot!! Any bets??!!”

Don’t worry, Nate will soon add historical inaccuracies soon enough, but will they include a scout tank named Jeb Stuart with the ability to knock out King Tiger tanks?

Even though Nate disdains all school work he has aquired some very good composition skills. He may have a future as an author or journalist.

I guess that Nate is writing a fictional version of the Civil War.
