Mad Dog Marine Corps
1,858 words
I place my boot on the neck of this commie bone
bag, the toe resting on his chin. I think, I hate
this wet heat he breathes. At least there is no
rain in it -- for now. I hate his elusive sky,
too. A sky filled with foliage, unlike the limbs
and leaves of the hickory or oak trees back home.
"Slats, you and Mad-dog planning to marry that
commie better, " Luke hissed at me. I watch as
reality seems to shift; 5 ' 7 ", 176 pounds of

emergence of sports as auto telic physical
contests for adults. Some historians see modern
sport as distinctive in its secularism and its
concern with quantification and records, but
others see ancient and modern sport as part of a
continuum, an enduring heritag...
