Sherman's Burning Embers

1864

William T. Sherman stands inside his tent; he proctors strategy for the battle to come. A rap is heard against the heavy tarp acting as a doorway.

"We have McGee, sir."

A soldier enters, clearly nervous due to audience.

"Corporal, I am told that you have an ability that might be of use to the Union."

"Yes, I have a gift."

"Let's see it then! Time is short."

"Yessir."

He ignites like a torch, flames everywhere.

"Soldiers, the March is on!"
