The Room
Dolsir stepped through the curtain letting it swing back into place as he passed. The difference between the room and street was immediate. The noise, the light, the heat, everything seemed to vanish the instant the curtain swung shut. Windows, small and irregular were cut into the mud-mortar walls but they too were covered by curtains, so much so that little light came...

NaNoWriMo - The Grand Adventure.
Prologue:
Jonathon sat. He just sat staring at the test paper in front of him. He was supposed to be taking a math test, but there were more letters on the sheet in front of him than there were numbers. He didnt like math, in fact he hated it.
He could do it, do it really well, actually, but something...

Kommandant, hier. Ich habe etwas gefunden. Es ist eine Frau, someone said as Cassidy came swimming back into consciousness. Her head ached, and when she tried to open her eyes the dull grey light stung. She tried to sit up, but her vision swam as the world turned end over end.
Sie wird wie ein Mann gekleidet, aber ich kann ihr Haar sehen, the voice...

+The rest of the day passed quickly enough. The decision to head to Liverpool to deliver Cassidy and join the resistance seemed to appease Alvins thirst for revenge. So the rest of the day was spent plotting routes, doing an inventory of everything they carried, and resting. Russot emphasized the need for rest. Traveling at night was harder on the body because you had to...

Cassidy stood up and crossed the clearing to where the men sat. Russot moved aside for her and she sat down. Toomey held out an apple, it glistened with dew and she took it eagerly. Several days of nothing but tinned beans and hard biscuits had left her wishing for something sweet. She bit into the apple eagerly, savouring the delicious juice. She crunched down...

Alvin, returning from watch kicked the solider named Mitchell awake and took his place on the ground sheet. The cool...

+She sat, contented, and ate the sandwich. The secretary, Ida, flaunted about doing her duties, even bringing the general his own sandwich, though it was certainly different than the delicious back sandwich she had enjoyed.
Hell see you when youre ready dear, Ida said smiling as she took the tray. My husband, Louis always felt better after having eaten something.
Thank you,...

+A hissing whine filled the air, seeming to come from every direction at once. To the right of the tiny rowboat the LCVP that had signalled to the lights on the beach erupted into flames. The bodies of men, some still alive and screaming were catapulted into the air as fire and shrapnel chased them. Blossoms of fiery light erupted along...

A single electric light, small and insignificant amongst the gathering gloom flickered as the current running through it wavered, drawn to another part of the building. The creeping darkness brought with it the cold turning the breath of the lone figure curled in the centre of the floor into a...
