Short Story: "The Sniper"

Background:

This story is set in Dublin, Ireland, in the 1920s, during a time of bitter civil war. On one side were the Republicans. On the other side were the Free Staters. 

Like all civil wars, this one tore families apart. It pitted children against parents, sister against sister, brother against brother. 

As the story opens, the writer immediately puts you into the war—high on a Dublin rooftop.
