To Love and War

        Richard screamed out for his brother repeatedly, only to begin a barrage of screams and curses for those responsible.  Maybella and Ivory held each other tighter in the corner while Joshua fought for Richard to regain his composure, an effort which proved to be in vain as multiple additional shots pinged off the house or into the windows. 


        Joshua ran to the women and pressed them to the floor, moving back to Richard and shoving him against the nearest wall, nose-to-nose.  “Your brother is dead,” Joshua said, “and he will have died for nothing if we don’t make it out of here!”  He reached down and picked up Richard’s rifle, shoving it into his chest.  “Now you kill the man who took your brother from you and everyone else who gets in the way.”
