A Truce - Max Tundra

I’d like to declare a truce

—What's a truce?

It’s when you agree to stop fighting

—Have we been fighting?

Yes

—Are you sure?

Yes

—When… when were we fighting?

Just now down there on that plastic mat

—We weren’t fighting, we were playing 'Twister'

Are you sure we weren’t fighting?

—Y-yes.

Twister is a game

A fighting game?

—No, just an ordinary game

For soldiers?

—No, well, soldiers can play but there is no fighting

Soldiers love to fight

—Well, there is no fighting when you’re playing 'Twister'.

It’s against the

rules

There are rules?

—Yes, didn’t you know?

We’ve been playing for hours.

Didn’t you realise?

No. I thought we were fighting
