“Reload and fanout,” Murphy ordered. “Find that third man.”

Only after loading another five shells did he look over the scene. The ground near the private was soaked in blood, and ash. But all around him there were spent shells and cartridges. I’ve only seen this much brass at the shooting range.

The projectile was slow and left a wide arc in its path. However, the vampire took the round to the chest and a bright flash of white light left everyone blinded.

“Burn in hell,” Murphy said.

The Taliesin Affair, a #SteamPunk novel by Steve Turnbull. I loved the interchange of the fantastical mixed with the reality of the era. This book serves a stepping stone for the series. Highly recommended! #IndieReads

The creature turned its head towards the shooter and if not for the snipers, at least another man would have died. They must have changed positions to get a line of fire.

Both shots tore through the Private’s back and struck the vampire. The effect was two fold; the first was obvious, preventing the creature from healing further. The second reason was purely about preventing the young lad from suffering. I’ll never forgive myself for this.

“Reload—(ing),” Private Willis said before being silenced.

The vampire moved like a blur and tore out a chunk of the Private’s neck. Before anyone else could react he had latched on to feed from the blood spurts.

Despite numerous strikes it was still standing upright, although sluggish in movements. Murphy spotted those fangs and froze for a minute as the memory of what happened that fateful evening. Not now!

He bit the inside of his cheek to further refocus his thoughts and fired another round. 

Three.

Their only chance was to keep firing until they ran out of ammunition or it dropped dead. Therein lay the problem, sustained and continuous fire was a challenge for a section armed only with weapons with a limited ammunition capacity.

A lady is never alone... One scene, and two #DarkFantasy stories make for a great pairing!
