Post: RE: Let's bang this out

Post: RE: Let's bang this out

Helplessness was not new to him: Rory had, after all, watched his mother's sanity wither and weaken and finally give. He had watched some of his best friends foolishly engage a powerful monster in bat...

It was harsh and unforgiving out in the stark sunshine. Rory once again forsook his shirt, sweat slicking his skin and shimmering in the light. He drank plentifully, and made sure to keep the ponies w...

His shovel kept them at bay, at least, the ringing of metal on stone a sharp and discordant sound in his ears. He hated the reverberations going up his arms as much as he hated the noise, the cacophon...
