by Fred Osuna
They ask about WWII and he claims no kills; but he recalls June 1994, the girl's scuffed white sandal, her red rubber ball bouncing away.

Author's Note
This was my other submission to the 2011 Hint Fiction competition. It survived several cuts but did not take the big prize, though I am told that it was read by Joyce Carol Oates during the final judging. ~~ It was later expanded and submitted to a number of presses specializing in micro-, but was roundly rejected. Perhaps the expansion was unnecessary.

Lots of pop in this one for such a small story. Nice.
Great stuff, Fred*
Brilliant *
Not usually a fan of nano-fiction but this piece really does it well.
Ouch, this one surprises like a switchblade flicked open. Nicely done, Fred.
The title kicks ass.
Excellent
Fred, you rock. That is all.
