Apache: A Short Story

by Ruth Newell

White Feather perched in the canopy, high above the La Tho River, with a $30,000 price on his head. A platoon of Vietcong snipers had been stalking him for days. His scope, however, was set on a small, thin woman pacing in the shadows of her houch. (This short is inspired by real people and real events.)
