Philip Adler: Armagh, Ireland


Today, I interviewed a Philip Adler. I found him in the pope's wartime refuge from when he traveled from Germany after the end of the war. He told me a story that took place in Hamburg. Along a crowded road, zombies were pinning down refugees that were trying to escape from their houses and hotels. Their mission was to go into the town, establish a command post, and hold off the zombies until help could come and rescue as many refugees as possible. At first, they were able to hold of the zombies for a little while until ammunition got low. The very effective water cannon ran low on pressure and they couldn't hold on much longer. Just then, an order came in to tell them to retreat. That was usual but the problem was that they were not to tell the refugees that they were leaving nor rescue any of them. Philip, being taught to obey your conscience objected to the order. When Philip objected, the General told him that if he would not cooperate, him and his soldiers would be charged with treason. Resentfully, Philip and his men fled to a rally point out of town. After they had fled, General Lang commited suicide, finally realizing how hard this battle would be to fight.
