    Summary

    There is no exit to this city, you see.

    So when you leave him behind, it is not in retreat, but abdication of a throne. In the abjection of a corpse. He is a dead thing now, playing at life, with a crown of twisted good intentions cutting into his brow. Maybe he always was. This unholy thing. You're never quite certain.

    But you will not glorify the martyr you made.


    And I stare at the soldiers before me
    All my blossoms that have waited to fall
    And I walk, and I walk
    And I walk, and I walk
    Knowing every last one of them is painted in light
    As I make myself acquainted with the saint of never getting it right

    Summary

    Escape is a black car left idling in a gas station parking lot just off the highway. It shines, dark as sin, and Clancy waits until he is sure no one is watching him before he breaks into a run so bold, so daring that he’s almost certain someone will catch his arm before he’s even made it out of their reach. But he’s been slipping towards the edge of the awning’s safety ever since he got here. Waiting for just the right moment to flee.

    And they aren’t expecting this, not today of all days. When the sun is bright and dangerous. And the summer’s heat is bearing down like God’s wrathful right hand.

     

    Especially not when they’re preparing to feed.

    Summary

    “I’ve heard your kind were hardly better than feral dogs,” the cultist seethes with something like a wry smile on his cracked and swollen lips, “but I have to admit, you’ve managed to surprise me.”

    His eyes wander over the Torchbearer’s piecemeal armor, his tattered green tunic caked in mud so that the embroidered symbology is barely visible, his bloodied hands that never seem to wash clean these days. But the prisoner’s gaze seems to linger longest on the handle of the battleaxe that the Torchbearer carries on his back.

    Still faintly smiling, he asks, “Have you also come to offer me absolution, or are you my vengeful executioner here to relieve me of my head?”

    “You’re still breathing, aren’t you?”
