Doom's Break
“It was one of those rare quiet days that left him with an hour free in the afternoon, a perfect opportunity for forty winks. He'd toured his section, checked at the cook shack to check on any problems regarding the evening meal, and then lay down on his cot and pulled the blanket over his head.
The blissful peace was shattered ten minutes later by young Neaps who came hurtling into his tent, shouting about a fight with the monkeys.
"Where?" said Rukkh, sitting up and rubbing his eyes.
