By that time Doodle was exhausted and terrified, and so he fainted into a pile of mud, his brother surprisingly helped him up, and decided to go back home. They walked quickly because they knew the lightning was coming behind them. As the rain approached closer Doodle, had fallen and cried out “Brother, Brother, don’t leave me!” Doodle’s brother never came back for him until he heard his voice no more, and the wind had stopped. He found him huddled beneath a red nightshade bush beside the road, bleeding from his mouth, neck, and his shirt. The brother called out “Doodle, Doodle!” but he never answered.

A Letter from the Trenches Dear Mom and Dad, I miss you both so much and I think about you all the time. I hope you both are well.
