Note: I found the idea for this story in one of Jane Yolen's books, Here There Be Dragons. The point of the story is to get an idea across in exactly fifty words, the title excluded. It's a lot harder than you would think. Count em'. There's fifty words.

He glanced down again. At his friends.

Yes. My friends.
