A hug (a #ShortStory)


Their group encountered another group and a fight to the death was imminent.
Although his group was severely outnumbered, his animalistic instincts told him to stay and fight.

But the civilized man in him was stronger so he decided to protect a young girl by fleeing the scene with her.

From their hiding place in a ditch,
they watched the fight unfold.
When the little girl saw a tear roll down the cheek of her tough protector and asked him: "Why are you crying?" 

"I just witnessed my boyfriend getting killed." "Aww. That would make me cry too. Want a hug?"
