The song this week… Stop the Cavalry by Jona Lewie

Enough

Tears streamed down his dust encrusted face.

He’d had enough.

It had been months and months of relentless ambushes, no breaks, and after weeks of not even thinking, he had looked at his watch, and the date said 25^th Dec…

But no.

He was stuck out here, in the heat of the desert… fighting a battle that didn’t want to end.
