Arrow
by Nigel G. Mitchell
Sergeant Ernie Rohr huddled behind the smoking tank as more
lasers flew over his head. "Our guns and bombs don't even scratch that
thing!"
Private Tanya Neubauer smiled. "We just need a little
more precision."
Neubauer stood up to face the massive saucer hovering over
the battlefield. She ignored the laser blasts flying around her. She notched
her arrow into her bow and sighted down its length. When she had the small red
circle on the saucer's underside in her sights, she let go.
The arrow hit the circle dead-center.
The saucer exploded in a plume of smoke and fire.

She showed him! Doesn't take massive firepower, just a direct hit.
ReplyDeleteAnd just saw Oblivion - really good! Some excellent twists.
That movie is on my "to see" list.
DeleteWhat fun! It's like a super quick version of Independence Day! Now all Tanya has to do is radio news of the secret weapon -- the arrow -- to all the resistance fighters around the world.
