I recently picked up this beautifully drawn and movingly written 5 page Weird War story. Page 1 and 5 are below...
...this story features a US radio operator name of Moore that has made it to the end of the war without injury and without the blood of another on his hands. His unit is called to occupy a German town that still has one combatant yet to learn of the war's end. With the mayor of the town defiant and his squad ambushed, it is up to Moore, as one of the last men standing, to flush out and stop the lone attacker.
The twist ending is realistic instead of fantastic, (no one becomes a vampire in this story)! For when Moore has to shoot the last enemy on the last day of war, the attacker is revealed to be a twelve year old German boy. Death, the narrator of this story, concludes with the all too real horror that Moore will most likely live out his days remembering and reliving this event. Unwritten, but implied, is that war marks all it's participants and that few, if any, come away from the experience the same way they entered it.
