“The guns, the guns, always the BLOODY FUCKING GUNS!” Tommy was shouting at the top of his lungs rocking back and forth in the mud. Almost before he could finish the sentence two other soldiers grabbed him and dragged him into the hallway dug and boxed into the hillside. His mind had finally quit onContinue reading “Stories From The Great War I”

The Cabin
The trailer shook with an earthquake like force, the door wrenched open almost coming off it’s hinges. “Yo fuck-o, you ready to go? My truck looks like the ATF’s wet dream right now and it’s going to take a while to get up there”. Looming in the doorway stood my co-worker Seth, his massive frameContinue reading “The Cabin”
Tales of the Sands III
The Barge II We were led by an escort of praetorians, clad in ornate dark armor and purple cloth robes. Their presence was customary, we had no intention of fleeing. A new entrance had been established, one in which none of us were familiar with. A large sweeping hallway lit only by the torches carriedContinue reading “Tales of the Sands III”
Honor and Duty
A whirlwind of choking dust enveloped the advancing infantry to our rear. I could hear one of the men shout a profane jab in their direction, lost in the sound of thundering hooves. One hundred men riding in unison, the sound signaling thunder before the lightning struck against the enemy. The horses spurred forward, soContinue reading “Honor and Duty”
Tales of the Sands II

She leaned forward slowly, placing her hands on the pad, first the left then theContinue reading “The Coming Storm”
The Field

Tales of the Sands
The holding cell stank of piss and shit. Lepidus hated fighting here. It wasn’t that he hated fighting, it was how poorly designed the arena was. This tiny forgotten about temple of combat was beneath him. There was no reason a warrior of his caliber should have to walk through the same entrance as mereContinue reading “Tales of the Sands”
Redemption

The 6 Line
Rumors have it if you’re able to stay on the 6-line subway past the last stop, you will be brought past an old subway station on the return trip. From what I’ve heard it’s actually quite magnificent. They say everything is pristine, untouched (except for the cobwebs), a reminder of the city’s economic boom duringContinue reading “The 6 Line”
