To Desire a Devil (2009)
“He’d marched many miles with three friends, but at a crossroads, each had chosen a different way and continued on while our soldier had stopped to pick a pebble from his shoe. Now he sat alone.
The soldier put his shoe back on, but he was not yet interested in continuing his journey. He’d been many years away at war, and he knew no one waited for him at home. Those who might’ve welcomed his return had long ago died. And if they hadn’t, he wasn’t sure they would recognize the man he’d become... over the years. When a man goes away to war, he never returns the same.
Fear and want, courage and loss, killing and tedium all work on him subtly, minute by minute, day by day, year by year, until in the end he is entirely changed, a distortion for good or bad of the man he once was.
So our soldier sat on a rock and contemplated these things as the breeze blew coolly against his cheeks. By his side lay a great sword, and it was in honor of this sword that he was named.MoreLess
