《Rise of the Henchman》Chapter 25: Barely Through the Door
Advertisement
After a few days of getting to know each other, the time has arrived. We pull up to the building hosting the charity event, which is a fundraiser for starving children in some poor wasteland. We proceed down a red carpet like area with photogs and others posing in designer clothing. Getting a little agitated, I almost made a crass statement. In order to calm down I spoke with my companion, “Sarita” Rocinante.
“Sarita, I really don’t like this, can you please take the lead until we get inside?”
“No, don’t wanna.”
“C’mon, please just do it.”
“Mmmmn, nah you can take the lead.”
“Dammit, fine but if we fail it’s your fault.”
Really I am starting to get pissed and we are not even inside yet. While agitated, I proceed to take poses with Sarita and make small talk with the people ahead of us. After what felt like hours we finally made it to the entrance and officially entered the fundraiser. After entering I am approached by an individual.
“Hello I’m John Weinner, nice to meet you.”
“Hello I’m Nick Murray and this is my lovely wife Sarita.”
“Hello.”
“It’s nice to meet you two. I never meet people my age at these events. Maybe you heard’ve me I’m the Vice President of Sync Computers and the youngest vice president in a fortune five hundred company.”
Wow, he’s such a blowhard. I sneak a glance to my side to see how Sarita is fairing but she was nowhere to be found.
“If you’re looking for your wife, she went to the other hens. You know women and their yakking.”
That traitor, I wish their was something I could do to her. She will pay, I just hope it’s soon.

Twenty minutes later.
When will this guys shut up. Seriously, he doesn’t shut up.
Fifteen minutes later
I can’t kill him, no one can be this annoying. He must be a tester. There’s no way someone like this can really exist. In the corner of my eye I see my hand make gestures itching to stab him. I need to get away before I kill him.
And by luck a waiter goes by and John grabs a glass of water.
“Nice talking to you John, I gotta catch up with my wife.”
With that I was finally free.

Wings of Sorrow
Tension permeates the city of Bleakridge as forces within its walls struggle for supremacy. Grim Thorne, the disinherited son of the Earl, is a fly caught in the web of power struggles between these forces. When Grim closes his eyes, he can still see the bodies piled high from the first day of occupation. The day he was branded a bastard in the southern fashion. The day his father let them. Soldiers from the south bearing green cloaks and royal seals maintain order in the streets of Bleakridge, ensuring that the lifeblood of commerce continues to flow through the port city. In the slums beyond the outer wall, the Sons of the Reaper lurk. Some call them heroes, others villains. But all fear them for their relentless devotion to the old ways and the freedom that entails. In the castle above the city, resides the Earl of Bleakridge. The man who bent the knee and saved the lives of his people, if not their souls. After twenty years of occupation, the tension is coming to a head and Grim has to choose. Sympathetic to the Sons, duty bound to his father, and forced into service to the king. He must rise above the brand on his neck and decide where his true loyalties lie. But, after so long, it can be hard to tell who is deserving of loyalty. The King’s men who enforce order with a blood-soaked iron fist? The Sons who more resemble terrorists and crime lords than revolutionaries? Or the father who watches the bloodshed and does nothing? In the end, it is always the place of the young to bear the sins of the old.
