EXCERPT:
EXCERPT:
Ypres is a hell.
Is it not bad enough that the very land seems hungry to swallow us all? Must we
be hunted by the black soul of our enemies made flesh? I killed him again last
night, a closer encounter than ever before. I dread night patrols more and
more, the way the land pitches and rolls, even when the guns have grown cold
and the shells stopped falling. The world is white ice and barbed wire, and a
man can lose himself in bottomless craters and abandoned foxholes.
No matter how
many of your brothers walk at your side, we are each alone in that terrible place.
Perhaps it is the quiet that unnerves me most. War should never be quiet. I
think it is the purity of the silence that draws Snowfather out again and again... The creature is chaos, and he cannot countenance even a moment’s peace…
— Snowfather
