Excerpts from 'The Army Field Guide⦠(A to Z)'
Summary: Amongst the Officers of the Very Distinguished Borogravian Army a battered volume can be found stuffed ready to hand in the top of packs, or folded into greatcoat pockets. It has proved invaluable in any number of scenarios, providing advice and occasionally life-saving manoeuvres when faced with an enemy of intelligence. This is not that slightly foxed tome. This is something completely different.
Disclaimer: Terry Pratchett owns the characters and the world they live on. Author is grateful for all the brilliant books and makes no claim of ownership in any way.

The Army Field Guide to Knots: (100 words.)
"Now pull it tight." Nervous fingers scrabbled at the binding.
"Tighter."
"Did you ever think you'd do this?" Polly murmured low into her ear.
Mal looked round.
Beside her Polly waiting patiently with the reel of string.
Behind her Paul, holding back Daisy, Shufti at his side cradling the burbling Alice in her arms.
Jack, tying the last knot before jumping to his feet to race away from them with the kite in his arms, sure that this time, this time it would fly.
It hadn't been where she'd originally planned to use that specific knot. But it would do.
