Tim O'Briens Stories

Tim O’ Brien always told stories. No one ever knew if they were true or all just lies. But we always just sat and listened to him tell other people the different stories he told. His recent listener was Mitchell Sanders, he told them about how Curt Lemon died. Curt and Rat were playing catch with smoke grenades and he ran five feet away to catch the grenade and stepped on a booby-trap. It exploded and his body and everything just flew all over a tree. As Tim and Dan Jensen peeled everything off the tree Dan was singing the song “Lemon Tree” We couldn’t help but laugh. Rat Kiley was beat up over it. He wasn’t the same anymore. After that we went to an abandoned village to sleep and set up camp. There was a water buffalo there, Rat went over to it and shot it just to torture it. He didn’t even kill it so we threw it into the well and let it be.
