Chapter 96

“You three form a perimeter.” I said as I began to get to my feet. My body was now starting the protest what he had just been through. I’ve been through far worse, but my body still had the i...

Chapter 95

We used the wall and trees to cover us. I can only see the vague outline of things moving in the fog. I was unsure of what was out there and did not want to go blindly into a dangerous situation. W...

Chapter 92

The debriefing I went through was far more extensive than in the past. Hawk grills me on every aspect of the mission, from the weather conditions in the zone to the final fight with the alpha. He p...

Chapter 91

I moved forward on the attack.

Getting close in as quickly as I could to use my short sword here would put me at a disadvantage if I delayed. It was a gamble I knew but I had to take it. Unfo...

Chapter 90

The third ghoul lay at my feet dead. This one had lasted a bit longer than the other two and had died much noisier, howling in pain with each blow that connected until the last one silenced it. My ...

Chapter 89

Okay, on reflection and from the reactions calling plan was definitely a stretch.

It boiled down to the simple fact that we needed to either get out or wear down the numbers against us. To th...

Chapter 88

“Report on the perimeter status.” Hawk barked out unable to hide the stress in his voice.

“Multiple reports of probing but no breaches yet.” A voice came from behind him.

They released me from the medical ward a few days later and sent me home. My mother was happy to see me and have me back in the house but I noticed there was an undercurrent of something bothering ...

Chapter 86

Now I’m no genius, this I know, but I think I’m smart enough to know when someone is bull-shitting me.

During the last few days of physical therapy, they had been steadily building up the...

Chapter 85

I must admit that in the last few years, I’ve been an operative; I’ve hardly ever been to this floor. The few times I’ve been here have always been purely to have some psychologists test my m...

Chapter 84

Dropping the bombs as I did have an even more significant effect than I could ever imagine; the one-mission debrief turned into a three-day interrogation session over all of my missions. I also los...

Chapter 83

Boredom is my greatest problem.

They have been here lying-in bed with nothing to do. No distractions or ways of entertaining myself. They have purposely not allowed me any access to news feed...

Chapter 82

I lay there for a while in bed.

I might have dozed a bit.

All the stiffness and aches I was feeling were fading as I stretched and moved. My body still felt odd, but I was getting used ...

Chapter 81

Blackness.

…….

I am groggy.

…….

Pain. No Stiffness.

My head feels like it is full of cotton wool.

My eyes feel like the...

Chapter 80

Chapter 79

A tiger came charging from the fog. It came in low and fast; I barely had time to turn to face it when it jumped. It collided with my shield with such force that I was knocked back several steps. I...

Chapter 78

I stand in the middle of the road looking back into the zone, the fog obscuring the figures to the point that I cannot identify what they are, just that they were there. Overhead the light of the t...

Chapter 77

We only got a few meters down the road when I spotted trouble. We were walking back along the road we entered the zone from. To my left, there was an overgrown field with tall grass that looked sic...

Chapter 76

The next day rolled around all too soon. We are transported out to the zone by helicopter. When there we were quickly outfitted with our kit. It was then I found out that my axe handle had been als...

Chapter 75

Mid-November was when they called me to duty again. I was picked up a whisked off to zone command Gregson was still out with his injuries, so it was one of the base personnel who picked me up. I wa...

Chapter 74

Global warming is a thing. I know this because of the present state of the weather. It is early October and I am sweltering in a heat wave.

I hate hot weather!

My recent trip to Rome on...

Chapter 73

Major Hawk walked into the briefing room in the administration building. The room had more occupants than normal. Nearly all the chairs were filled in the room was split between military and civili...

Chapter 72

We were taken back to the airport we arrived at this morning. The sky was full of aircraft coming and going as earlier. Looking over the airport as we were landing, it was now a full military base....

Chapter 71

Any pretence of a defensive line had collapsed. No, slaughtered.

Those not killed outright ran back up the steps in full panic as the killers chased them. They were slicing through people as ...

Chapter 70

We abandoned everything that we could not carry and most were carrying wounded. A few of the priest was still here and they were helping where they could. We were forced to leave the dead where the...

Chapter 69

The strange stillness had settled over the area after the ferocity of the fight. The defenders were rearming and preparing for the next wave rebuilding the barricade. Around us, we could hear sound...

Chapter 68

The day was now late afternoon. This had not let up in the heat, however and I used this brief respite to continue to cool down. Henry is sitting next to me on the “wall” of containers. He is s...
