Times of war were never easy on the conquered. After all, to the victor go the spoils. The warriors, not paid by any other means, were expected to have first go at what scraps may be offered up by the towns and villages that fell to them.

Sorry it's been so long for the second part, I got distracted and had a little writers block. Check out Part 1 to refresh your memory before you start reading this. As always, feedback and suggestions are welcome! Chase Stevens parked his black mustang that his dad had bought him for his 17th birthday at the end of the street he knew Ms. Fantelli lived on....
Note from the author: I actually do roll die for all the stats of every character and all the die rolls they make in the course of the game.

Kissing Amanda was everything I dreamed it would be. Her lips were soft, welcoming, and full of passion. While we kissed the hand she used to turn my head towards her trembled against my cheek. Her other hand grasped mine and our fingers interlocked. It was heady, beautiful, and seemed to go on forever. I was so focused on our kiss that everything else in th...

He glanced over at Jessica—they were holding hands as they swam together—and he noticed that with her free hand, the newly-transformed mermaid kept reaching down and p...
[note: a short chapter here, but a necessary aside before you begin. Most have figured out by now that my 'Adrian Leverkühn' moniker comes from Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus. Fine, that's true enough. But I want to draw your attention to another work by Mann, The Magic Mountain. Note we're writing about Harry Callahan, or HC. The Magic Mountain is a sort of G...

"Jinxed again," Roger murmured, getting an elbow for his troubles. He and Sarah had known of the word gobsmacked, but had no clear understanding of its meaning until they saw Debbie's expression. She had gone completely white as soon as she'd seen Joe's ghost stand up. "Yes Debbie, it's me," he said gently. All of the events of the long, busy, tiring day fi...
