723 words - 3 pages

“They had won, but they were weary and bleeding. Slowly they began to limp back towards the farm. The sight of their dead comrades stretched upon the grass moved some of them to tears. And for a little while they halted in sorrowful silence at the place where the windmill had once stood” (Orwell 40). This is the perfect time for my takeover to start.
