His foot slipped on a wet spot and he clasped the upper rung, narrowly catching himself. He forced a tired leg up the next few steps and stopped.

In the middle of a desert, near a small town, the Dark Tower stood tall in the night sky. Almost as black as the backdrop of space it stood against, this was not a sight one would want to go seeing.

Sunday morning, twins awake from fitful slumber with sweaty palms. Remembering dreams that found perch within their normally restful minds, they swap questioning then knowing glances, before climbing down from their bunks. Looking outside together, they grip each other's hands tightly. Rain. During February. Highly u...

Selecting different tactics than what Nigel previously knew, blue team's creative efforts were still less impressive than they would've liked. Side flanking strangely failed when their opponents were thoroughly bunkered deep down their caves. Instead, they have chosen scare tactics, followed with rapid close combat. Ho...

Sven wanted home comforts. Nightly dreams painted youthful lanes, teenage alleys, twenty-something streets, each warm, each filled with something lovely. Here, each avenue served notice that Sven wasn't where these memories were formed, where myriad good times seemed promised. They'd warned against this city, listing c...

Percival dreamed every night, dreams that made Percy wise. Many opposed Percival's dreams, running towards lies, Percival knew that hope would find them, stifling their cries, Percival's dreams would conquer fear, they would open their eyes. (That was hard)

Awakening suddenly without clear thought regarding today's rigorous tasks. Soldiers lazily raise their arms high above their clean shaven heads. Sunlight beams through tattered curtains highlighting floating dust particles. Robert arises first, brushes every tooth, combs every hair, mandatory inspections require per...

Rapidly awakened. Dreams that haunted night, fade away. Sheets drenched, pillow damp. First light. Should tonight frighten; will tomorrow come? Lover's embrace long lost. Alone tonight, forevermore.

Rain falls heavily onto cobbled streets. Thunder asks what lightning's doing. Children cower beneath their sheets. Stay inside, great storm's a-brewing. Ok, I kinda cheated with "a-brewing", but I couldn't think of another way to word that last sentence.

I feel like I cheated. Bodies everywhere. They're dead. Everyone's dead. What happened? Can't remember. Fragments. Just fragments. Shellshock. They call this shellshock. Children. There were children. Daughter, Susan. Jack, Susan's brother. Their mother, Lisa. Married Lisa after college. Lisa's dead. Jack, Susan, Lisa...

Dark, dusty, damned. Oxygen combined with nitrogen itself whisked through dark streets, sluggishly.

Fable bleating bleeding heart Cowering over oceans start, 'Twould never surrender loves purity Only wicked shrewd severity. Darkened hour coming late Feeding upon horror's plate.

> > Heat blows from forge fires behind opening valves. Tyrone, stepping through them, looks around.

They never wondered where their children played. Police officers scold their negligence, after finding these youngsters throwing rocks into traffic. Didn't occur that they should feel responsible. They didn't understand police penalizing them just because their children misbehave. Officer Toltsky walks back, thinking...
