Isles of the Forsaken
“Before he could quite struggle awake, four marines pushed into the house, armed for police duty: clubs, handcuffs, and pistols. They scanned the darkened room and saw Harg, then went straight for him. Two of them dragged him roughly from bed, then shoved him across the room and through the door, out into the cold morning air, wearing only the shorts he had been sleeping in.
Two of the marines held his arms, and another stood watch. Without any preamble, the fourth marine, the one whose nose... Harg had bloodied, struck him in the mouth so hard that Harg’s jaw nearly came unhinged. This was followed by a blow to the other side of his face that left white spots dancing before Harg’s vision.
The third blow, to his stomach, buckled Harg’s legs, and they let him sink to the ground. Gasping for breath, his mind still careening, he crouched on all fours in the dirt. He could make no sense of what was going on.
