Final answer:
An impromptu truce during wartime leads to an exchange of banter among soldiers, temporarily ceasing hostilities and momentarily considering mutiny before returning to the trenches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amongst the eerie silence of no man's land, an impromptu truce was called, bringing soldiers out of their trench fortifications.
Jovial banter began to replace the usual sounds of warfare, and for a fleeting moment, the concept of mutiny against such senseless conflict seemed universal.
Yet, as history would tell us, the tacit agreements made on that field were not to last, for the machinery of war creaked back into motion with neither side willing to display tacit submission permanently.
When two warring sides decide to call it quits, it's called a truce — an agreement to end the fighting. When there's a truce, the two sides stop attacking each other, catch their breath, and try to work out a peace deal. A truce isn't a permanent solution: it's more like a time-out.
