Sorry for the wait all. No good reasons, only excuses. I&#039;ll put up a Journal entry soon on the subject of what I&#039;ve been up to lately. <br /><br />Still, hope you enjoy this. The Patil twins get their time in the ropes here, and I hope that my extensive knowledge of the Sharpe series and respect for Bernard Cornwell&#039;s works were put to good use here. Again, all the rights are owned by their respective creators, please don&#039;t sue, etc...<br /><br />This installment is also a bit more violent than my usual, given the context, so if you think I&#039;ve overstepped my bonds, then feel free to tell me. Also this installment also had the longest scene in the "real world" this time around, about a full thousand words. Expect this trend to continue in the future. Again, any and all comments are appreciated, so I hope you enjoyed!<br /><br />Interested in the next installment? Think snakes, boulders and fanatical cults...
