Man at War – Excerpt No. 344

Piercing the heart was not generally fatal for vampires. However, it could freeze the victim for a period, especially if recently turned. Sawyer’s target never had a chance to move… again.

Marc dodged a swipe of claws, cutting through the fabric of his tunic along his sword arm. He used this opportunity to slice and free his opponent of his head. Just like that we have the numerical advantage.

Sawyer twisted his rifle to free the bayonet from the victim. Now both circled the remaining Hun, who was teetering on the edge of panic. That might have made him more dangerous, but Marc learned how this game was played long ago.

A young German soldier in a peaked cap stands amid the rubble of a devastated street at night, clutching a submachine gun while gazing upward with an expression of rising panic and alertness. The black-and-white image captures the tension of an ambush, with damaged buildings and distant figures fading into the smoky background, framed by a vintage distressed border.
