War is coming. Therrell is the sole survivor of a massacre. He’s also the only one who knows about the growing danger to his kingdom. He must bring word back to the city so they can drive back the threat before it’s too late. Monsters. Beasts. Creatures too foul to be named. All hungry to carve their way inside, all clamoring for the flesh of the populace. They know he’s on his way. They know what he saw. And they are hunting for him. He must survive. The messenger must deliver his report before it’s too late. While not my usual style, KILL THE MESSENGER was the product of a Secret Santa story exchange on the Absolute Write forum in 2013. I enjoyed writing for the challenge of including an unusual prompt, and I had a kick putting my own twist on it. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
