Ok, here's the deal. I am starting to write one of my old ideas again. I am going to stop posting if I don't get any opinions. THis is for you people who like to read them, and don't post opinions. I want to hear what you think, so I can improve on it.
Well, here it is.
Prologue
“As though things couldn’t get any worse,” the colonel muttered, “ A fucking trench war. They think we don’t care that our men are lost at this rate.”
“Sir?” A nameless soldier inquired.
“They’re cutting us off. We’re alone here, private .” As he finished his sentence a volley of las fire was discharged at the trench, cutting down any soldier who wasn’t concealed. Voices echoes over the radio, though not a single soldier could hear those words over the constant fire.
Fall back...fall back...
“Sir! We can’t hold this any longer!”
“Looks like the New Found will take this sector as well. Very well, sound a general retreat. Now listen, I want a two line retreat. First line will move back first half a klick, then the second line will move back a klick, while the first covers them. Clear?”
“Sir!” The soldier saluted and ran down the line.
After a few minutes, the first line was rallied, and started to move back when a strange light arose in the sky above them, lighting up the night. The light flashed a few colors, and then stayed a fixed Cyan. Strings of light fell to the earth, spreading radiation across countless battlefields.
Yet, in another flash of red light, that some men felt scraping into theirs souls, the moon was gone. Billions of people perished in an instant.
But we live on. The Remnant and the New Found, we survived. Only to end up in an endless feud for superfluous asteroids. Like dogs fighting over anything, whether they can live in it, or eat it..
Well, here it is.
