The Fallen Soldier — Kenneth Guthrie

(This sci-fi story is over 5,000 words in length.)

His mind tweaked until it is near unrecognizable, his body near breaking, his soul near destruction, Rock walks on through the haze seeking light in a darkness where there is no light. His knife is sharp and the end is here. Can Rock do what he promised himself on that blighted day so long ago? Can he kill his love just one more time? Find out within.

This is the last book in the Metal Soldiers Series. Kenneth Guthrie's next series is Silent Justice, a series of four sci-fi stories centered around the lawmakers of a small planet on the edge of a far flung system.

All four stories are available in Metal Soldiers: The Collection.
