An Arabic Night

Siwah, Egypt, 1942

It had been a hard year in a difficult theater of operations. Rommel had pushed the Allies all across the desert, but they had finally started to win. The fight was far from over--Egypt and many other countries were still held by the Nazi forces--but the Australian forces were enjoying a well-deserved break and had been given leave for the night in the oasis town of Siwah.

Sargent Luke sat in a small bar that had been reserved for the military. He had already downed two beers and the rest of the boys had moved out into the town to have a good time. Slowly he rose. 'Time to join em,' he thought to himself. His balls hung heavy in his briefs, as it had been over a year since he had been able to bed a woman. Deciding this might be his last chance to get laid for a long time, Luke started to walk out into the night.
