Eldon, Part III
How did you get here?
A boy from Frederick…
A life defined by a cell.
These moments are meant to crush normal men.
You aren’t a normal man.
No, you’re a caged bird meant to fly.
And soon you’ll make your greatest escape.
As you do, lives will be forever changed.
Each decision will alter the timeline.
Space and time will bend.
Men will be left on the battlefield.
Lives will be saved.
Boots and blood; blood all around.
Crimson shines brightest in the moonlight.
Years from this moment, you’ll blame yourself.
The night will be filled with terror.
Please remember though, all you could do was run.
You still had wars to fight.
