The Potato Overlord

1

"The humans prepared their kitchen knives and butter, while the potatoes ran and hid. The humans ran out onto the battle field, knives ready, but didn't spot any potatoes. The humans were confused. That is, until it hit them. Literally. Potatoes were in the trees, using slingshots to hit the humans. The humans started throwing the knives at the potatoes, hitting some. The potatoes started to flee, but the humans surrounded them. This was it, the potatoes were going to be mashed up and eaten. Then, a potato motioned for them to climb higher. The group of potatoes climbed very high in the tree, and jumped from tree to tree. 'We escaped!' The potatoes cherished. But, there is no such thing as a win in war until the battle is over. Even then, it's usually a loss for both sides. The potatoes headed back to camp and reported to The Potato Overlord. "Sire, we used the slingshots, and were surrounded." One said. "We climbed higher into the tree, and we hopped over to camp." Another said. "How many soldiers were lost?" The Potato Overlord asked. "At least 100" said a young potato soldier. "Hmm, we need replacements." The Potato Overlord hummed. "I'll fight!" A potato yelled. "Me too!" "Yeah!" "For our kind!" The potatoes yelled. The Potato Overlord sent his potato warriors out into battle. So far, the humans had been winning. But will this be a turning point for the potato kind?
