scrap and experience in last

I Had the Craziest Dream.
The psychology of dreams is a very interesting subject
-so they say. Dreams may foretell the future or reflect the
past here's one on the future of the ASTP.
It seems that C Company's Bill Hall was in the front
lines, fighting against the Nazis it was a terrific scrap. All
around him bullets zipped by, the steady whoosh of mortars
filled tlje air, screaming shells tore into the earth and blew
men and equipment to smithereens. The loud explosion of
grenades, the nerve-wracking pounding of the big guns
back of the line, and the roaring fires started by enemy
tracer bullets made a mad inferno of the battleground.
Through it all Bill kept pumping lead at the Germans, when
suddenly he was hit by an arrow. Poor Bill, he was so
humiliated that some Nazi Robin Hood had nipped him that
he refused to go to the hospital for treatment and died
on the spot.
But all of Bill's dreams don't end up so tragically
sometimes he figures them out and manages to outwit the
powers that be. For a month straight the same nightmare
haunted him he was driving his car along and when he
came to a curve on the edge of a cliff, he couldn't quite
make it, and he, with the car, would plunge over the preci
pice. Bill being a rather clever fellow, doped out the solu
tion after a couple of weeks of tragedy. When he came to
the place in his dream just before they hit the curve, Bill
would open the car door and jump out.
