Sugar Rush in the Infantry Stage

Sugar Rush in the Infantry Stage is a story of a fine fellow who happens to have more hair than normal human beings.   There are some other differences too, but Orson isn't sufficiently self-aware to determine what these are.  One day, whilst visiting the local library, Orson sees a poster that advises him he can become a man by joining the military.  So, he signs up.   He is given the status of Private First Class and sent to the Congo, to wrangle over gold and diamonds.

Orson's endeavor to become a man takes a strange twist when his own tribe lures him deeper into the jungle.     A catastrophic encounter with heavy artillery fire blinds his vision and he is forced to rely wholly on a tribe of kindly fellows who eagerly accept him as their own.
