Man at War – Excerpt No. 350

“Now, it’s time to repay the favour,” Marc said.

The men reacted as expected. They turned towards the threat with their weapons at the ready. Upon spotting their lone adversary, the men advanced on him two by two.

Zero…

Marc sacrificed some blood to reach the wall at speed. He counted down from three after holstering his pistol. On the count of zero, he grabbed the grenades and pulled down hard enough to tear off the pins.

With time against him, Marc pushed himself as fast as his vampiric body could handle. He launched himself through the shattered window. Just as gravity asserted itself there came a blast from the other side of the wall.

An officer in a peaked cap crouches tensely amid rubble inside a shattered building, as a violent explosion sends bricks and debris flying through the air around him. The stark black-and-white image captures the raw shock of battle, framed with a vintage distressed photo border.
