Apologies for posting that here (it should be in the lounge I think) but.. just came across a music-video in which every little detail has meaning, following flawlessly one after another. This is a story in its own right and I think writing should be like that.
Just to be clear, the gorgeous dusky brunette in the video is me, wailing my indictment at the implacable, insatiable crowd of demon story "characters".
I think this pretty much simplifies all that is ongoing through out both novel and sequel. Though it kinda is what they do as soldiers.
