Overcast 164: An Evil Not Forgotten by Erik Buchanan
An Evil Not Forgotten by Erik Buchanan. Narrated by J.S. Arquin. #fantasy #war #aftermath
The soft whickering of the horses, not used to his presence, penetrates into Tyler's sleep. His eyes snap open and his hand claws for the knife beside his makeshift bed.
Still dark. Still raining. Still in the barn, the straw scratching his back through the thick blanket wrapped around his body. Still alone with his memories.
Pounding rain. Soaked powder. Men and horses fighting through the mud. Marching to the Mage's castle. Muskets gripped tight in cold fingers. The ground erupts under them and horrors crawl out, clawing at them. Lights in the sky become wraiths descending on them all. Cold iron to ward them off, cold steel to kill them. Death for those too slow.
Tyler lay with his wife the first night he arrived home, bodies thrusting hard into each other, hands grasping to reclaim a year's absence of flesh. Afterwards they lay together, sweat-soaked and laughing, nestling tight as sleep overtook them both.
Tyler woke when Kate's fingernails clawed open the flesh of his forearms, saw her blue and gasping, eyes wide with horror and lack of air as his hands tightened around her neck.
After he let go, after he made sure she was all right and she said she forgave him, Tyler went out to sleep in the barn. She didn't argue.
Erik Buchanan is an author, ghostwriter, fight director, actor, black belt and parent. He is also a communications consultant, but that doesn't sound as exciting.

His trilogy, the Thomas Flarety Stories (Small Magics, Cold Magics and True Magics) is published by Canada's Dragon Moon Press.
