Walk by Smell not by Faith
Two Marine officers consider reality.
In the bleeding cold, Marine First Lieutenant Johnson Sher and Captain Vander Swiftson sat inside a trailer with a broken heater. They worked on the weapons system drill.
“I say that it is a detriment to mental stability,” Sher claimed.
“No, I reap great understanding and guidance from the Word,” Swifton asserted.
Their breaths appeared in the air like apparitions looming in the night.
“I say, walk by smell and not by faith. When you can do that the keys to the structure of the universe are in your hands.”
“You can’t say that to me now.”
“I can, sir.”

Chanda sent home money every two weeks. In a small village in India, she deposited money into the bank account of her Aunt and Uncle who sent her to live in America. The place seemed so remote, almost cut off from the rest of the country. There, a festival took place where participants hurled cow eliminations at each other. The muddy, mucky sense of it had been known for centuries. Locals tied it to an ancient god who they believed restored people’s health with the cow plops. During the festival, thick patties hurled through the air and smushed into the bodies and faces of those rollicking around in the filth.

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.
