Out of words (snippet)

I stood among the pillars that held the balcony, while the flag fluttered over my head and people passed me by. I tried to inhale the smoke from eco-cigarette, either the ampoule was at the end, or the battery was low. Nevertheless, the taste was cheap and of poor flavor. A group of people came …

Matochian Thieves

Ildocians were too smart to meet us in the slums so I proposed to them an open field outside Matock. It was an old military base Ildocains frequently obtained and lost after our Master of Treasury Keeper charged them with enormous taxes. We knew how to blackmail people, just like teaching your kids. You want …

Nightmare

Dusty and dry plain had huge gaps in it enough to swallow a man. Sometime I was tempted to jump in one of them and end this suffering. I would sit on the edge of one of them and look at the dept. I dreamed of falling inside of it and hit every rock on …

Dust of Gliza – The new armor

I entered through the gates and the smell of cooking splashed over my nose. The noise of bickering merchants under tents was unavoidable just like traffic of people that ran around, offering me fruit, meat, spare parts and refreshments, but I was out of coins. Hiding under hood, people saw little of me, but clank …

Dust of Gliza – Heresy

The air, water and soil gave us life, gave us the long long life, but it took everything else. I arrived in Fa Lon on a holiday, just when trials were beginning. The children ran around in their jump suits, cheering the executions that will take place when the second Sun rises high enough. I …

Running water

Ann came from behind and smiled at the bright colors I stared at. She could see a waterfall rustling in the distance, the rainbow escaping the stream of water, the red cliffs and sunset that made landscape melting in pink and purple. - Out all the places we have visited, you always come to this …

Metal Genes (Full)

The slums in the West Side were always marked red and they were off limits, but when you have a problem, that is a place to go. Dark streets dotted with ponds where neon signs changed their colors in, the smell of burnt meat and sound of a verbal fight was the usual for this …

Code name “Spider”

I made few little flags I carried around the streets, those trashed paths where every fourth building spreaded on them like guts of a roadkill. Tumbled cars were good place to hide, but my bullets ran through them like paper. Busted glass laid under my feet, furniture burnt and heavy smell of decay was what …

Circles

I stepped in the ruins of the round building, running from the bullets that followed me like a vengance. Crippled walls witnessed the horrible event that fell on them as humble priests mourning over burial. Truck load of bricks hardened my escape where bullets picked up the cement dust and threw it all in the …
