weren’t normal people. As a matter of fact, it seemed as though they were frail in the day but in the night, it seemed as though they were becoming monsters.
     
    In the commanders thirty years as leader of the English army, he had never seen anything like this. And it had gotten to a point where his advisors were starting to tell him to defy the king, run for his life and then beg for his mercy. But the commander was too darn arrogant to allow himself to ever do that. If anything, he would rather die than throw himself at anyone’s feet and ask for forgiveness.
     
    “That is my final word. We need more ammunition for our guns. If we don’t have any by nightfall, then I am afraid that those creatures from the east will come back and we will be done!”
    “We can just retreat and live to fight another day.”
    “NO WAY! WE STAND AND FIGHT!! AND WHERE THE HELL IS THE DEATH DEALER??!”
     
    Everyone was quiet and looked around. And it was at that point that the handsome, well-built blue eyed war engine, Viktor sauntered through the tent and went into an immediate troop attention, recognizing the presence of the commander with a salute.
     
    “Good. How are we doing in the armory?”
    “It’s bad sir. We have used all of the arrows and spears as well as swords. And the canons are almost done. We will need some soldiers to dig up the clay and burn it but that would do us any good because those monsters can’t be touched. They move too fast and they can’t die. Word on the barracks is that the enemy is in cahoots with creatures that are abominations and we aren’t going to win this war no matter how hard we fight.”
     
    There was dead silence in the tent. The only sound was that of the gust beating against the roof of the tent. For a moment, the commander was confused. It was only a couple of minutes till nightfall and he knew that he had absolutely nothing against the enemy. And now, from the look of things, his pride was going to be put to test without a doubt and that was something he wasn’t going to live to regret.
     
    But before he had the opportunity to think of a way in which they were going to stay on top of their game, they heard screams coming from the barracks and they all grabbed their swords and watched. It was clear that they were under attack and that there was nothing they could do about it.
     
    “We defend the commander with all we have until our last breath!”
     
    But that was the last word that ever came out of the soldier who was standing next to the commander. The lights were out and then without any warning; his throat was snatched. Everyone was killed that night, all except for Viktor, the war engineer. The creatures of the dark had much better plans for him.
     
     
    *** 
     
    Joyce woke up in the morning, wondering just how she was going to get a job. Her dad was giving her a lot of pressure to make sure that she was going out there looking for a job. But after doing it for a while, Joyce was on the verge of giving up. She had a degree in accounting but from the look of things, it seemed as though everyone her age had a degree in accounting. And that spelled doom for her since the competition in her field was too darn high.
     
    But that morning, Joyce just decided to go out there and try something out for the sake of trying it out. She had reached a point where she herself was starting to have a difficult time staying in the house just because of the guilt that she was feeling. It was just too much for life. She was turning twenty-three in a months’ time and she wanted to celebrate it in her own apartment.
     
    Most of her friends were already in stable relationships, let alone having their own apartments and that also contributed to her discomfort. At the end of the day, it seemed as though everything was going to be fine since the dictum says that there is always a silver lining after every cloud. And that was whatever the heck she was going to aim at that day – the silver
