Broad Hinton and Annie were taking tea on the open pier<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel that we will be buried apart\u201d<\/i> Hinton said staring out to sea<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy do you think that?\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
Hinton did not immediately answer and because of the vacuum created Annie did not pursue her question<\/p>\n
As the temperatures were dropping rapidly a pink mist was beginning to form over the sea which in turn gave the town a light blue hue<\/p>\n
Both Hinton and Annie were admiring the changing colours of the day<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel that I will go to war and will be cut down by a snipers bullet and will be buried without ceremony in the country of my death\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
\u201cBut we are not at war; we have not been at war for generations\u201d <\/i><\/p>\n
\u201cAnd many years after my death you too will be laid to rest many thousands of miles away from me\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
\u201cThen I would not let you go to war\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
\u201cWar is inevitable we have been at peace for too long\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
\u201cThe sky is showing its anger at you\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
In the distance the orange sun dipped below the seafront buildings occasionally sending shafts of brilliant light across the sea<\/p>\n
As this was happening Annie pulled a lever to her left and the pier slowly broke in two and drifted away from the coastal town<\/p>\n
\u201cYou see my love there will never be an occasion for you to go to war\u201d\u00a0 <\/i>she said without bitterness
