I’m dumb because at first I thought that this story took place in a dystopian future like from Hunger Games but as I read along it became obvious that the setting was colonial America. Homeless kids were treated really badly in that time period and moved from place to place looking for work and struggling to survive. Even civilians who were respected in the community were at the mercy of redcoats though, it was a very turbulent time. I think that this story describes the incident that made things very difficult between colonists and redcoats and helped set off the incident that started the Revolutionary War. It was an argument between a civilian and a redcoat that escalated from a snowball fight to the redcoat shooting into the crowd and was later put on trial. Because I live in Hawaii it had be explained to me when I learned about this in school that being hit by a snowball in New England it worse than being hit by rocks. Even so that’s obviously no excuse for armed violence…
Despite a few grammatical errors, I think that this story was well written in showing the severity of the time period and the strife between the people back then affected normal people, not just the Revolutionaries.

Well this was a rather short story, but I thought that it was an interesting concept. A human wanders into a fantasy land but wants nothing more than to go home and is completely disinterested in the plot. It’s pretty normal that someone wouldn’t want to get wrapped up in a stranger’s problems and not get involved in their business, but we expect the opposite from our protagonist. It was fun to read but it seemed to be cut short so I’m hoping for a part 2
