Featured Title of the Day: Blood Veins by Brian Young


Briah looked towards the prisoner and smiled despite the shivers running over her body. She noticed the wounds on his back, freshly bleeding minutes ago, already appeared to be mostly closed. As she was examining his back, she had worked her way towards him and was about to speak to him again when a loud crack filled the air. It was deafening loud and echoed throughout the forest around her. It sounded like it had come from everywhere and immediately disoriented her. The guards had resumed their posts next to the prisoner and the one standing to the left fell to his knees and crashed face first to the dirt.

Briah froze in confusion, but the prisoner immediately turned around and started running towards her. The other guard reached out towards him but was stopped short by another loud crack in the air, and Briah watched as the side of his face exploded shattering his jaw, sending bone chips and blood everywhere. The prisoner tackled her to the ground breaking her mental shock.

"Get off me." She yelled as she slapped at his arms and momentarily freed herself.

She started to stand, but he grabbed her and pulled her back towards the ground.

"Stay down," he yelled. All around her guards and prisoners ran around in confusion. The hissing sound of arrows in the air and the sight of them striking guards with wet thuds followed by red splashes of blood made Briah duck instinctively.
