Discussion of "A Soldier's Account" by ORL13

That was HILARIOUS. When I first saw the reference to the 'Plumber', I just about fell out of my chair laughing. Great job!

Awesome. Seriously. I love it.

Thanks very much

Holy mackeral that was funny:) Very nicely written battle scene too..

Yeah, I'm pretty much a huge geek. Thank you

GEEKS UNITE!

Oh, wait. That would mean relinquishing our hermitude.

Cool story, ORL!

It took me a while to figure out what was going on, but it was hilarious when I finally got it. Very well written. It's great hearing stories from the POV of a completely insignificant character-- a common soldier, a minion. Looking forward to reading more of your writing!

This was fantastic! Great bit of writing. As I read I went from thinking it was a real human war story, to thinking it was a wonderful piece of Sci-fi/fantasy, to being terribly confused after reading the comments?? I obviously missed the point because I didn’t find it funny at all, but instead quite harrowing.
So, is this a clogged toilet bowl or something and the ‘Plumber’ is coming to fix it?
Actually, don’t bother explaining it to me. I like it just the way I think it is…awesome!

Go to wikipedia and type in 'Super Mario Brothers'...

What a hoot! Awesome job!

Well I'm sure glad that you're all enjoying this so much. The fact that Dog didn't pick up on the mario bros. theme and still though it was good makes me even more proud of it. I hope more people read it and I really home somebody mashes it. I will definitely write another chapter at some point.

Wonderfully written, I loved it. I also agree with ACE, great choice on POV's, unique and unexpected.
