Character(s): Soldiers Albie; Phil; Sid
First Line: This thing thinks a cannon's a pretzel!
Synopsis: Phil works at cleaning in a dinosaur museum, and has nightmares of being chased by one. Luckily the war comes along... but now his buddies are suffering the same nightmare. Towed by a glider, they fly through a cloud and crash on Dinosaur Island. They fight dinosaurs with grenades and a 155mm howitzer until a dinosaur wrecks it. "Maybe this is a dream." Snatched by a pterodactyl, they shoot it to drop through the cloud -- and splash next to a destroyer. Still, that night in sick bay, the nightmares are back...
