Behold the Truth
Orange light from the morning sun basks the hard-packed clay in front of us in warmth as I stand at the tip of our formation. A shield is pressed against the tricep muscle in each arm attached to my torso. Coldness from the bronze-plated wood gives me comfort, as does the calm breathing of each man behind me. Each of them is ready to die for our valiant cause; each is dedicated to bringing honor and victory to their people, and all of us are willing to kill all that stand in our way. The men amassed across the barren field from us are also willing to die for what they believe and so will.

Kal’s Locket
The child sits with folded hands in his lap while intelligent blue eyes stare aimlessly at the blank wall opposite him. He’s not moved in the past twelve hours. An extraordinary amount of time for a thirteen year old to stay still. A single tear rolls down his porcelain like cheek as I open the steel door to his room.
