Write a Three Sentence Novel

From The Atlantic magazine:  In 1906 the critic and activist Felix Feneon wrote more than a thousand “novels in three lines.”  So, I am offering a challenge:  Write a three sentence novel.  While you are getting your words in order, here’s my entry:

She withdrew the knife and stared at the bloody uniform.  Murderer or hero or both? Too late to save them all, but the children who survived the terror will decide.

Your Turn.   I will be your "publisher."

P.S To Gerry, Rex, Bonnie, Sophie, Elaine, Marilyn, Nancy and my other novelists:  Let's have some fun with this during lockdown.
