It was a long treacherous night in Dublin, The civil war between the Republicans and Free Staters has been stretched over a long period of time, as they cannot seem to come to an agreement. The two snipers on opposing sides, were set out to kill each other only to find that they were brothers.
The sniper had been tired and hungry for a long time. The sniper was just trying to do his job when the altercation between the two snipers broke out. At this point it was simple, its a fight to the death. The sniper had to think of a plan so he could emerge victorious in this situation. Others around him became aware on the confrontation taking place on the buildings above the street.
Quickly, the sniper began his plan of attack and decided to take the cap off of his revolver and place it over top the muzzle of his rifle, he pushed the rifle over the wall and pretended to be shot. The opposing sniper jumped up thinking that he had emerged victorious, the sniper shot is enemy and killed him, and he watched him fall over the wall.
The sniper was very surprised that his plan had actually worked, so he decided to go see who the opposing sniper was. He went down to where the body had fallen and turned over the body covered in blood to see a very familiar face. His brother.
Civil wars are extremely dangerous because you can see what the effects are on families. This story is a perfect representation of just that.
