This is a true story of an event in my childhood.
_____________________________________

It was a hot mid-summer day in a small Florida suburb. Buck and Jeff Lancaster were nestled in a small ditch on the side of the road, Jeff watching the street with a pair of binoculars, Buck holding a pair of plastic baseball bats.
“Do you seem ‘em?”
“Not yet. Watch the right flank; they might come from Pete’s house.”
As the pair lay intently watching the street for a sign of the approaching enemy, two more young boys with yellow plastic bats appeared, and jumped down into the ditch with them.
“How did the scouting mission go? Did you find them?” Jeff asked in a tone that a major might use when talking to a corporal.
“Yeah! They’re coming from the right side! Get ready!” said Michael excitedly.
True to his word a group of four boys and a girl approached from the right, all wielding yellow plastic baseball bats. With a roar, our four heroes leap from the ditch and attacked!
“Prepare to die, heathens!”
“For Narnia!”
“In the name of God!”
“This is Sparta!”
The two groups clashed in a flurry of yellow light! The bats swinging left and right, the sound of stinging plastic hitting skin, the pitiful cries of a wounded soldier permeated the silence of this small suburban neighborhood! Oh, what a sight it was to see these young children of eleven and twelve in a battle royale, one side gaining a small advantage, only for it to be turned over to the other side. ‘Twas like the swordfights of olde, our four heroes barely managing to hold off the horde of evil!
“Ow! My hand!” John cried out as the evil witch smacked away his sword with her own.
She picked up his weapon, and now wielding both hers and his simultaneously, she began wrecking havoc on our four heroes. With a demonic fury, she beats them down, one by one.
