Mondays Finish the Story – March 16th, 2015, 150 words based on this photo–
and this initial sentence–
“A body suddenly crashed through a plate glass window at the Brigadier’s house.”
Personally– meh.

****************************************
A body suddenly crashed through a plate glass window at the Brigadier’s house. The smash mingled with the tinkle of broken glass.
In his breakfast nook, the Brigadier sighed. Wiping his lips with a napkin, he stood and strode into the sitting room. “What is your name and unit, soldier?”
The private sprang to his feet. Bits of glass rained off him. He saluted. “Sah! Private Cunningham, Fifth Bermudan Fusiliers, sah!”
The Brigadier returned the salute. “Private, were you practicing throws on Tucker’s Point?”
“Sah, yes, sah!”
The Brigadier nodded. “Very good. Not your fault, Private—when the drill instructors get enthusiastic about unarmed combat, a throw of three miles is hardly unusual.” Getting damn bloody tedious, actually. “Report back to your unit. Dismissed.”
“Sah!” The private saluted, executed an about face, and flew away out the broken window.
The Brigadier sighed again. Four times in the last month— well, no one said commanding a super-powers brigade would be easy.
Writing and other forms of suffering 
I love your take on the photo and opening line Doug! Well done and very entertaining! Makes me want to read more! Thanks again for participating in the MFtS challenge. See you next week? I hope so! Be well… ^..^
Thanks.
Very nicely described….brought a smile to my lips…great post:)
Thank you.
I enjoyed your take to the prompt. My question is, are they throwing the soldiers? That part confused me.
Think judo….
Thanks for reading.
Oh, okay, thank you! That makes sense now.
Very entertaining, sir! Not at all what I expected.
PS I just picked up Bloodrush a couple days ago. Entertaining and well written. Keep up the good work!
Geez, Douglas, I’m really sorry. I got you mixed up with Ben Galley for a minute there. As penance I shall go buy one of your books right away! (Hmmm…maybe I’m reading too much.)
Thanks, Eric– there’s no need to do penance. Glad you like my story.
Well, the result isn’t meh at all. Very entertaining!
Thanks.
Excellent unarmed combat in action, without damage limitation ~ 🙂
Thanks.
Great take on the prompt. I love the idea of a brigade of super-powered soldiers. 🙂
Thanks very much.
Good story, Doug, and humorous. I could see it happening. Well done. 😀 — Suzanne
