The Realization or the Need for War

The year is 2050. The United World Order, also known as the UWO, just passed a new decree. All Weapons used in war from this day forward, must follow designs made from the 1930s thru the and not to exceed the 1960s. The planes must be of a prop plane design. All ships, including submarines, must be of designs from the 1940s. All explosives must be from the 1940s design. All guns must be the types used in the Second World War. Tanks and trucks must be from the years of 1940 through 1960, and artillery must be from the years of the 1940s. Weapons banned include flame throwers, gas weapons, chemical weapons, atomic weapons, thermal weapons, fusion weapons, black matter weapons, magnetic weapons, and time disruption weapons. All types of energy weapons will be banned also. Any country found in violation of this order will be vaporized within 48 hours after a guilty verdict is issued, including all persons within said borders of said country. All citizens of said country will be rounded up and vaporized where they are found. Any country or persons found harboring said citizens shall be in violation of this order, and suffer the same punishment, not only for themselves and their families, but for their entire country. Shall it be written, shall in be done. UWO.

Mr. Cerna placed the paper down on the table as he took his glasses off and put them back in his front pocket.

“What’s the point of that nonsense?” Mrs. Cerna said as she continued to cook.

“I’m not sure” Mr. Cerva said back to his wife. “Do you think they really mean what it says? Mrs. Cerna said. “If you were to ask me that ten months ago, I would say know, but with this new leadership in there, I wouldn’t put it pass them. Mr. Cerna said as he looked on his phone for more information about it. Mrs. Cerna shook her head as she placed two plates of eggs and bacon with white toast on the table. “Eat up, while its hot! She said to her husband as she sat down at the other end of their kitchen table. “Put that phone away while we eat,” she said to Mr. Cerna. “There will be plenty of time to read about it later,” she said again with a smile. “Hmm” Mr. Cerna said as he put his phone face down on the table and began to eat his breakfast. “This is good,” Mr. Cerna said, “thank you for breakfast,”

he said to his wife. “You are always welcome” she said with a smile as they both ate. “Do you think Vera has seen this yet?” Mrs. Cerna asked her husband.” “Oh God I hope not,” Mr. Cerna said to his wife as he put a big fork full of eggs in his mouth. “You know how she likes to fight the good fight even if it’s not a fight worth fighting for,” Mr. Cerna said.” Mrs. Cerna looked down at her plate as she blessed herself. “I hope she has the sense to stay clear of this one.” Mrs. Cerna said as she took a drink of her coffee. “Only time will tell.” Mr. Cerna said as he finished his breakfast. “That was good, thank you,” he said as he got up to put his plate in the dishwasher. “Are you finished dear?” Mr. Cerna asked his wife. “Yes dear,” she said as she handed him her plate. He put the dishes in the dishwasher and grabbed another piece of bacon as he walked past the stove. “I’m going to go wash the car,” he said to Mrs. Cerna as he walked towards the back door. He stopped for a second as he finished the piece of bacon. “You know, they told us we would all have flying cars by now, and they all would be electric, but my car can’t fly, and it drinks gas like there’s no tomorrow.” he said to Mrs. Cerna shaking his head. Mrs. Cerna just laughed and then said, “You always say that, go wash the car, and don’t forget mine.” “True,” Mr. Cerna said as he walked out the back door.

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
