LOL<br /><br />My intention was to create the feeling of something big and very dangerous on the way, but an unknown something, as none of the other citadels had survived to pass on any information. Also the rather certain knowledge that, although they would fight, none of them really expected to survive the day either.<br /><br />I didn't intend to write a part two when I penned this, and added it later, I hope the direction I took it in doesn't disappoint.Steve Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414279461366098783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947555836132631506.post-18508550571258721722014-08-16T03:07:13.418+01:002014-08-16T03:07:13.418+01:00I held my breath!

Oh I got excited, so excited as that tremor ran through the ground and now just like Blake and the other soldiers I am anticipating what's coming. But, what's coming? <br /><br />I don't know why but I was reminded of The Langoliers, which is always nice I guess.

I wrote a part 2 for this yesterday, so it will be at least a two-part mini series, I'm not sure yet whether to take it further than that though.Steve Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414279461366098783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947555836132631506.post-75412392965726030752014-08-10T03:07:33.250+01:002014-08-10T03:07:33.250+01:00+1 for continuing with this!

Like the others, I want to see what's coming. Whatever it is though, you've set the stage well enough that the reader wants to see, but may be too scared to see at the same time.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04753736809917062955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947555836132631506.post-59826162794066757462014-08-08T22:56:38.269+01:002014-08-08T22:56:38.269+01:00Hiya Sonia, I'm afraid I haven't worked th...Hiya Sonia, I'm afraid I haven't worked that one out myself yet. :-)Steve Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414279461366098783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947555836132631506.post-55399172845529418482014-08-08T22:55:15.367+01:002014-08-08T22:55:15.367+01:00Thank you Catherine. :-)Thank you Catherine. :-)Steve Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414279461366098783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947555836132631506.post-38523039987774329642014-08-08T22:53:42.102+01:002014-08-08T22:53:42.102+01:00Thank you Roslyn.
