What would you have done? What would your reaction have been if you came home from a business trip two days early, heard noises coming from your bedroom, had gone down the hall to investigate and found your sweet innocent wife tied to the bed with a gag in her mouth as a large man you've never seen before violently had his way with her? I think that my rea...
On November 5th, Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, also known as the Fort Hood shooter, went through Ft. Hood with a handgun, equipped with a laser sight, and went on a shooting spree. Not too long ago, I mentioned that Terrorists Are Stupid. The more I learn about Maj. Hasan, the more evidence I have. For those of you who are not familiar with...
CH7. Blood, rage and despair. We crept forwards in the shadows of the forest. Timing was essential. We wanted to attack their archers, their rearguard. If we could break their ranks and rout them, we could turn on the large army of barbarians and trap them between the warbands led by Zeuxis and us. I was nervous.

I woke up gasping, a scream in my throat, hands flying to my chest where the bullet had struck me in the dream, throwing multiple blankets from my body. The movement brought a howl of pain from me as it pulled healing muscles and skin in my back and shoulders. The sound echoed nicely since I was still in Samu's kitchen, laying on my side atop his island, wra...
Jessica and Maria both stood on the back porch as their partners sat beneath the large willow tree at the bottom on their garden. Both men had their children in the strong confines of their arms talking amiably about plans for world domination. "Gabriel told me Julian and Diane are still alive, how did Christian take it?" "As could be expected he was angr...
Patches of snow flecked the dirt road in rural France as a squad of German soldiers rode by on motorcycles. A land mine exploded, destroying the first motorcycle, and killing the rider. The other motorcycles crashed. Their riders tried to shoot at unseen enemies. French resistance fighters quickly mowed them down with submachine gun fire. The resistance fi...
Just About 30 Examples This is a far from complete list and is listed pretty much in the order I personally read or watched or became aware of. 1. Le Morte d'Arthur - King Arthur and Guinevere. King Arthur ultimately dies because of Guinevere and Lancelot's betrayal. (See my essay: "What I Learned from Anony" for a detailed analysis.) 2. The Detective (19...
The day had come for Gore warrior and Cheyenne’s ceremony. She knew she would have to get him back to their room alone to kill him while the other women kept the others celebrating until Cheyenne could get back to help destroy the others. The witches dressed Cheyenne in a long black gown that cut deep into her cleavage. Long tight fitting sleeves. The waistl...
