Deadpool & Wolverine Official Trailer (2024)

[grandersonauthor]

Tiressly, she rode down the path from the village, her horse about ready to collapse and die. Her arm was covered in soldiers' blood. A sword she had procured off of one of the dead ones, still tightly grasped in her hand.

Her grip would not surrender the reigns of the horse until she was leagues away from the massacre she had just witnessed and participated in. Innocent lives were sacrificed to the gods for nothing. Just so a petty little man who gloats about being the new king to anyone who would listen, even if it wasn't official yet as the poor bastards father had yet to croak over and die.

Savakna shivered as she continued riding the horse as far as it could take her until it collapsed from being over exerted.

Then she ran and continued to run for as long as her legs would allow, eventually falling at the base of an old oak tree as it started to rain. The oak gave her some comfort and cover, so she stayed dry the entire night as she lay there, eyes unable to close because when she did, all she saw was blood and guts. Women and children massacred in cold blood. Mothers, daughters, husbands, and sons, all destroyed by one man's army, an army that she had been conscripted into. She had been given no other choice but death. It was either join the army or be slaughtered for trying to provide for her family back home.

Savakna was a chieftains daughter, a loyal servant to her father who had been brutally slain by the very army she was forced to serve in. At this very moment, she was now considered awol. She never reported back to her commanding officer after the raid on the poor village. She had run as far away from the destruction wrought upon the innocent people.

She needed to get back to her own village, her own people. She needed to find the remaining survivors and somehow take down that insolent little fuck who called himself a king before he destroyed the peace that this continent had been in for over ten millenia.

No war had been fought here until today. Her own village wasn't even on this continent but everyone from her village and from her homeland knew of the people who lived here. The mysterious peace they were experiencing was now on the verge of collapsing.....

Listen, Writers

My dad (we are here in Pennsylvania visiting him for Thanksgiving) was reminiscing last night over dinner about his grandparents (my great-grandparents) and other relations of his (who I never knew) from way… way… way back. (“My great-aunts were these two tall Germans, and my grandfather was a short Italian…”) I had not heard those tales before. They are now filed “up here” [points to head] for…

My Love For You - A Poem

My Love For You - A Poem

Good morning, afternoon or evening wherever you may be. Below is a poem I wrote in about five minutes while I was putting away laundry this morning, the 2nd of October, in the year 2023, for my wife, the love of my life. She means the world 🌎 to me, and I am in awe of the hard work that she continues to put out despite how difficult it is to be away from me and the children for days at a time. I…

Greed Manifesting - A Poem

Life is but a thrill seeking darkness, all of the answers lying in wait but never within reach.The power that money has over humanity,It’s a lustful desire so demanding.For fear is all-consuming, ever lustful for a lick of flesh.Neverending darkness for those who seek out money, may it be a shame to never see the glory of such manifestation. Do not underestimate the power it may hold over you,…

Story Prompt #1

Please feel free to read and expand on the prompt below:

"Lack of wisdom, that's what you're missing, Henry!" I said angrily towards the man, a handsome man. A man that could fool any young gal into doing something she dared not think of doing. A man who dared me into doing something that I wasn't proud of. He dared me into stealing something out of the vault at the office building I worked in. Something of value only to someone like Henry....
