"What Hast God Wrought"

11 Years Ago


Title is taken from the telegram sent by Samuel B. Morse from Wash. DC to Alfred Vane in Balt. MD. IN 1844. This is a novella about an Hispanic boy/teen who works after school as a Messenger Boy for Postal Telegram in a small S. Tx. Town at the start of WWII. What gets him down is having to deliver bad-news telegrams to next of kin. Disgusted with wanton racial putdowns because of his Hispanic heritage, he decides to forego the remainder of his senior year and joins the Marines. The story reaches its climax during the Battle Betio, Tarawa Atoll, the Philippines, on Nov. 22, 1942. I have posted this story 2X and it has failed to show up for review. Admin WritersCafe has not responded as to what I may be doing wrong. Perhaps some of you can give me pointers of how to successfully get it in. I'm new in this forum and look forward to becoming an active participant. thanks. jjh
