The night before the cry

Chapter one

As the snow started to fall a certain dog was trodding through the lifeless streets when he reached the halfway point to his destination, an intersection in the middle of town. He looked at one of the news stands and read the date in his mind, "Saturday, December 6, 1941. Well at least I can sleep in tomorrow.' He thought and continued through the snow that was becoming apperantly thicker when he reached his destination, a single boiler room that was nice and warm. As he plodded through the room he heard a familiar voice..."hey Yukon, how's the weather down there?" His older sibling Kodi said. "It's fine...except for the carbon dioxide pollution every now and then." Yukon said referring to Kodis obvious height advantage. Then a voice spoke that stilled the whole room..."alright that's enough for a minute". Balto said

The two brothers nodded and Yukon took a seat then another voice filled the sounding like it was trying to change the subject..."as I was saying do you guys think America will enter the war?" Dingo said another of Yukon's brothers. "I don't know...but if we do we'll beat the axis powers just like the time we beat the bush plane." Kirby replied as if it still meant something years later to beat bush plane."Man Kirby, that's an awful steep uphill battle your talking about." An older friend of balto said. "It may be steep, but it would be short and sweet." Ralph snappily replied, " well I think..." for the next two hours that's all the dogs would talk about till finally one in the conversing group asked what Baltos opinion was, him and Yukon had been silent about the matter until they had asked him. He collected his thoughts and spoke what he thought "if we do enter the war it won't be 'short and sweet' instead I think it will be a hard fought struggle that in the end will cost a steep price." With that the room again fell silent then the dogs who had homes began to depart for the night and while Yukon was walking through the snow heading to his house, he could only think about how Kodi had always teased him about being 'average'. You see, ever since Kodi hit his growth spurt he was always taller, faster, and stronger than Yukon and Yukon was well, pretty average among the town dogs. So since than it could be said that Kodi was a jerk to Yukon but Yukon could care less, but deep down inside it does bother him. "Why, why does it bother me?" he wonders "maybe it's because he's a mail captain, or because he's a town hero." Whatever the case Yukon clings to what his mom told him long ago " it's not your talents that make you average or not it's your character." And mom was so right about that because when it came to character Yukon was well known for good character. So as the snow began to appear as a blanket in the air, little did Yukon know that starting tomorrow his character would be tested for the next four years.

So what do y'all think I'm a huge WW2 fan and thought I'd give a swing at the balto WW2 combo.

I know slow start but you have to start somewhere
