He took one last drag on his cigarette and snapped it away. Then with that faint, fleeting smile playing about his lips, he faced the firing squad; erect and motionless, proud and disdainful, Walter Mitty the Undefeated, inscrutable to the last… 

“Are you alright sir?” a small boy tapped Walter’s shoulder, waking him up from his day dream. The people around Walter are smirking, trying to hold in their laughter. Walter was distraught and decided to run away and find his wife.

“Walter!” Mrs. Mitty screamed.

“What is going on with you? Why are you acting so odd lately? Walter I am worried and embarrassed!” Mrs. Mitty was yelling at Walter. Everyone a mile away could hear the insolent tone in her voice.

“You wouldn’t understand. Let’s go home.” Walter insinuated that he did not want to speak about the thoughts going through her brain. He suddenly grabbed the hands of his wife and started leading her to their car.

“Walter, what was that?” Asked Martin who now looked more frightened than ever. Then all at once the submarine door burst and water rushed in with great force. Walter and Martin were smashed up against the walls of the submarine. Walter knew this was the end, at last the undefeated Walter was in a struggle…
