The President was woke by his generals a message hard to understand, their nuclear missiles had all turned to chocolate in silos all over the land. The warheads, once fissile uranium or Hydrogen, ten megatons now smelt like fresh brownies or steaming Cocoa and the same thing applied to all guns. The bullets were all made of candy, they'd have to be kept in a fridge, put in a gun belt they would all start to melt and when fired, just hit with a squidge. The bombers and tanks now were useless, the soldiers were all unemployed, all demobbed, free to roam with their families at home making up for hours they'd not enjoyed. You can't win a war with a cutlass, machete, a hatchet or knife, so the Nations all paused and agreed to end wars and then happily got on with life. Now, okay this tale maybe pure fiction, could God pull off this stunt? Yes he can, but to love or to kill he gave us all free will- he has left the choices down to Man.

A clever write, Viv. If this were true then maybe war games would actually be funny and a pleasure to play.

I have a friend that says we are living in a computer and God is playing with us. If that were REALLY true, I think God would have a blast pulling this prank on us all! (and I would love it!) Clever one, Viv.

They certainly wouldn't fight in the summer, Agnes. What a gooey battlefield that would be x

Thanks, Silent, not sure what inspired it, but I'm off to grab a Toblerone. Made me peckish.

Something like that just might happen...most likely without chocolate that too expensive...
