The glorified champion of a warrior has his face appearing on the front pages of every newsletter, magazine and billboard around the city of Berlin, in the heart of Germany. The native militants are led to yet another victory over the neighbouring French, home to the origins of all love stories as well as the lands of The Spaniards. In that era, the dominant ruling over the German lands had gotten so rigorous that many local citizens had run off into land plains considered to be home to the nomads. To firmly shield their safety and obtain survival through those blood-shedding days, the fearsome French had disguised themselves onto gardens of plantations across the green map where flowers of blossoming colours would nest a variety of nature’s creatures. The Germans were in denial that any form of a runner would even consider such a harmonious garden of plants amidst the green lands to be used as armour for protection. The community of farmers had devoted hours and hours of their efforts to soil and water these plantations. The peak of these floral petals plateaued at about two meters off the ground.

The fearful who got away would usually lay there and rest until there wasn’t a lookout on plain sight so they could proceed to crawl into the wilderness. The jungle beyond was where the hopeless and helpless wandered off into, as a means to commit suicide by hanging themselves from the trees. The cowardly tyrants even killed the ever so hard-working farmers by poisoning them to merely remain discrete. However, the name all over the headlines was Allen Houmerr and he had a sharp eye for detail and noticed that the farmers going missing amidst plants dying out as though they were not being nurtured as per usual. On a spontaneous night, upon concluding the top tier army soldier’s nighttime meeting, Allen decided to recruit his most fearless mercenaries and headed into the lands of these flower petals with a clear incentive to annihilate anyone who betrayed the local farmers, as he was very considerate of the community they had built up over the past centuries. The owls from the mass trees of suicide beyond began to whistle as the sun began to set in the west and the ruffling of the cotton plants began to echo the breeze from the cold winds. Allen approaches to lead his selective team with a strategy to blend into the night, camouflaged as though to be hidden in plain sight. They tucked in silenced weaponry and set foot, at an angle approaching from every corner, with the tactical formation of a squad of highly trained sniper men ready to fire upon command. The ammunition for this approach was more than sufficient and it was evident that Allen was not leaving there without any shortage of brutal bloodshed. Regardless of the wars, betrayal of the innocent farming families was not tolerated by any of the three nations, especially if they were robbed of their contribution to the overall wellbeing of the local community.

As the moon took its course of rotation amidst the cloudy nights, the hidden clan of the escaped victims approached to dig out underneath the plants, as the yard was quite distanced from the woods. They risked no chances of getting there by foot so they persisted to crawl bit by bit regardless of the countless pointy roots and sharp stems along their trail. Since the German army was well equipped with artillery and cutting edge technology run by the sources powering light and darkness, they were able to easily gain sight onto their target of a witty and foolish group of people in turn showcasing a clear example of disloyalty. Attain your targets and do not leave these grounds until the yellow petals of these sunflowers have been damped by the blood of these imbecilic cowards who betray our nation, Allen commands into the microphone and to the selected few on this mission.

Shots were fired at such a rapid pace and an aim of such precision that within seconds they were assassinated, urging the birds to fearfully flee away from the scene of murder. Allen proceeded to play it even more tactically and left one to be injured on both knees so that he could no longer crawl any further while also snapping his right elbow by the flicker of a sharp blade. He intended to merely uncover and understand what led them to commit such a sinful and disgraceful act. Who is your leader and lead a path in this direction you bastard? Allen bluntly asks as he presses down on his toes to grant him the endurance of torture and misery.

I am truly sorry my leader but we evaded to flee the war and not look back! the individual answered.

Your mercy will be granted if you accept to nourish this planetary to its original state. Otherwise, have your last words spoken now and you shall be handed the torturing that will make you beg for your death more than you’ve ever craved the survival of your life, Allen proceeds with, as he stomps onto his ankle and snaps his foot off. The man was practically dead and so decided to in return remain silent with his eyes closed, implying the surrendering of his last       breath. Hang him up by the tree so that he may be demonstrated to the public of Germany as an example to anyone who may even have the slightest idea of carrying out such an act, Allen shouts out and throws a bottle of water a couple of meters away, still unreachable by this helpless being. Strapped to a tree by a tight rope he was, abandoned to be devoured by the predators of the night.

THE RISE OF ALLEN HOUMERR

D:\DOWNLOADS\rope-17098(3).png

Allen grew up in a foster home as his mother, Alina, had died of a brutal murder in the year dating back to 638 followed by the suicide of his father. Those years were filled with harmony, serenity along with nothing short of calmness. However, on a cold and windy night out with her classmates for cheese and wine, upon their walk back home, a group of drunk homeless hooligans approached them to rob them to feed them of their addictive dependency on crack needles and heroin pipes. These beggars were uneducated and slept by garbage disposals laid out across the city of Hamburg, north of German occupation. With blurred vision, this gang of four men stumbled along the sidewalks reeking of pure alcohol and covered in waste, they attempted to snatch the purse of one of the ladies, but she quickly pulled herself back and made a run for it while tearing off the side of her dress. The remaining two, amongst which, the taller one was Allen’s mother, were caught in a motion of being frozen by the sudden responsive state of shock. Unfortunately, what lay ahead of them in the path of their destiny was very short-lived and didn’t have much left ahead of it.

Two of these intoxicated men get a hold of Alina’s legs and pull her to them, smashing her skull onto the cemented pavement while the other simply collapsed as the fear and rush inside her. Blood is pouring out of Alina’s scalp and they are in the middle of being dragged into a corner alley seven feet away. All the corner stores shut down and locked off, not a car or passenger in plain sight on this dark street with lamp posts flickering. The shortest of the crew picks out the bottle of whiskey from his winter coat, quenches his thirst by swallowing the last bit of what was left and
