Their Village, Their Fortressby Dylan MadeleyA soldier escapes the destruction of his fortress at the hands of a calamitous new weapon. Against orders, he rides home to deliver the terrible news. He insists no village is too small to be warned of what’s coming, even if he’s not sure what they can do. He delivers an impassioned call to action, daring them to try. Reconnecting with his community involves reconsidering why he left it, and what he might regret having left behind; but he soon faces scrutiny when they realize something about his appeal doesn’t add up. Each villager confronts what’s happening however they must, journeying through their emotions and sometimes delving into their personal histories to reconcile themselves. Their truth, their skills, and their efforts enable them to resist—but even if they believe, can a hastily-prepared volunteer militia of farmers defeat a battalion of trained soldiers? $0.99 |
