Three Word Wednesday

And the words are: agree, execute and providence


The order came from the commander, "Execute them, every last one of them."
The rebels had been holed up in the bunker for weeks, supplies dwindling, but not their resolve.
It was a noble cause they were fighting for -- in 200 years, freedom fighters such as they would be called insurgents by some -- and they believed it providence they break free from the tyrannical rule from abroad.
But there they were, locked in, clamped down upon and growing weary. But they would agree among themselves never to give up the fight, to die honorably.
And as the bugle blared out the order to charge, each checked his rifle, his ammo and his resolve to die fighting.
