Tin Universe Daily #139
There are so many versions of some stories,
Especially when a prospective to the title of
The Pledge is screwing with reality in Utah,
He
handed her his flask as she sat on top of a huge marble slab, part of the
forest ruins. She was trying to catch any bit of breath she could find to force
it into her lungs.
‘Drink,’
He told her, ‘Go ahead, it will calm you a little before we head for the city.’
Joanshir
took a large drink from the flask, shook her head like she just drank sewer
water mixed with gasoline, and stood up with new energy.
‘Thank
you stranger for giving me a hand in battle. You fought bravely.’
The
stranger put away the flask in an inside pocket to his blood red jacket that
seemed to dance with a red dust.
‘Nothing
brave about knowing how to kill,’ he told her, ‘Those creatures are quite the
experts at that particular talent.’
She
gave him a queer look before turning to look in the direction of the city where
she spotted the smoke in the moon sky.
A
lot of smoke.
The
stranger put a hand on her shoulder, ‘The vampires are out for one thing my
dear and we need to get there quickly before they find out where my old friend
Merlin hide it.’
The
stranger and Joanshir began a full on sprint for the city. Joanshir’s heart
felt like it was going to explode from her chest but also as she ran beside
this man who came to fight by her side against the vampires she could not also
help but be curious about any mortal man who called Merlin friend, if he was a
mortal man at all.
