Suddenly a whole salvo of cannon shells rained down on Jimmy’s command. It was an army of Red soldiers! More Blue Cavalry rushed to Jimmy’s rescue as more Blue infantry saluted their new commander. Jimmy kept the captured cannon firing on the Red cannons as the infantry gave round after round of gunfire. Battle was joined.
Jimmy was preparing for a cavalry charge on the enemy cannons. His infantry would divert the rest of the Reds away with a charge. Suddenly a voice rang out: “Look out sir!”
Jimmy turned around to see a Red Cavalry captain, sword raised!
Thrusting forwards Jimmy knocked the captain out with his sword. That was one horseman who wouldn’t be fighting again until tomorrow night. Jimmy’s men were caught by surprise by the Red Cavalry platoon. The Blues were losing. The Red army of foot soldiers charged. Directing his infantry to the Red army Jimmy turned to fight the horsemen.
Again the voice called. “Chaaarge!”
The enemy cavalry were fleeing away from a new company of spearmen. Toby and Jimmy ran off after the infantry. The reinforcements hurried off towards the battle too. Jimmy stopped and looked up. There, leaning over his bed was Fredrick wide-awake. Jimmy stood mouth opened wide.
“It’s okay.” Fredrick reassured Jimmy. “I won’t tell anyone. Keep playing, this is fun!”
And so off went Jimmy to fight the Reds.
Smiling, Fredrick got some cannons over to help his new friend.

Whaat a great story. I can't wait to let my son read this. Hopefully reading your stories will inspire him to try and write his own. Thank you.
Also, as for my paintings, I am just getting started on painting animals. That was the first close up in detail eagle that I have done. I do plan on trying other animals. If you go few a couple of post, I have a dolphin and a wolf and a far off one of eagles. I will post as I make more. Thanks for the very nice comments.
