5.28.11 Colours - a drabble of 100 words

Show your colours. Show your bravery or cowardice. Show your mercy or judgment. Show grace or anger.

Raise up the flag on the mast. Define your allegiance. Tell me, stranger, who you are. Identify your side. It’s a war, soldier, and you can’t sit on the sidelines. Run up the white flag if those are your colours. Just remember, it’s hard to change sides in the middle of the battle, brother.

Hear the trumpet call and take up your arms. Because they’ll wrap you in those colours and ship you back to Eden when your number is called.

Get ready.
