To Love and War

        Ivory’s eyes opened to the deafening crack of a single gunshot, bang!  At the same time, the mob grew quiet as there was a loud thud right beside Ivory’s feet.  When she opened her eyes there was a heaving body before her on his stomach, a massive exit wound dead center in his back.  The group parted like the Red Sea, exposing Joshua who had the rifle pressed into his shoulder, smoke dancing out from the large barrel. 


        Joshua kept the rifle into his shoulder, motioning with a free hand for Ivory to come to him.  As she grew closer he fanned the weapon around to show his readiness to use it if everyone tried anything.  Even Joseph, their raging leader, kept quiet as the ditch digger and his princess were reunited.  Joshua walked them out from the immediacy of the crowd and within running distance, keeping his aim on the crowd.
