Great prose as always Bryan -- I need to remember who I am reading a little more next time, I friggin' love the turns these always take, you never fail to make it creative aha! I liked the bit of foreshadowing with the blown apart horses and soldiers and whatnot.

Holy crap! That morphed into a totally different genre at the last minute. Thoroughly engrossing, but jeeeze! Okay, okay, she deserved it ...

I hope it didn't veer too abruptly, but, well, I know I veered abruptly...but DID she deserve it though? Wasn't it all just fun and games?
