The Stories and Novels By Derek Ward
In Chapter 115, much to Zombie Strike’s collective surprise, Collin appears at their position. Their former teammate brokers a temporary cease-fire between Zombie Strike and the Truth long enough for them to deal with the Little Death. The two forces lay siege to the Little Death’s nest.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
Many of us know Ben Franklin’s quote on liberty and temporary security, but I’m feeling a bit more confrontational. If Sam Adams was anything, it was confrontational.

In Chapter 113, the recently-arrived advance guard of the Great Death begins their attack, against the advice of the scout. They attack Zombie Strike as the team moves up the Mississippi on gunboats. Zombie Strike learns the site of the ritual at the cost of one of their own.

This week’s Metal Tuesday is Alestorm’s “Keelhauled.”
Because PIRATE METAL! That’s why! Plus, the lead singer rocks the key-tar in concert.
My friends I stand before you
To tell a truth most dire
They lurks a treator in our mist
Who haven’t vote the captain’s ire
He don’t deserve no mercy
We ought to shoot him with a gun
But I am not an evil man
but first let’s have a little fun
We’ll tie that scoundrel to a rope
And throw him overboard
drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip
Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber,
send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank
with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho
Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber,
send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho
I will not say what he has done
His sins are far to grave to tell
It’s not my place to judge a man
But for them he will burn in hell
The sharks will dine up on his flesh
And Davy Jones will have his soul
Take his money and his hat
He won’t need them where he’s gonna go
but first lets tie him to a rope
And throw him overboard
drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip
Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber,
send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank
with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho
Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber,
send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho
We’ll tie that scoundrel to a rope
And throw him overboard
drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip
Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber,
send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank
with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho
Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber,
send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho
First a video from my friend, Kenn Blanchard:
Is today’s Boston the reservoir of strength and determination that made it the hotbed of revolutionary fervor? Could you actually see Sam Adams and his bunch standing meekly by as the King’s magistrates forced themselves into everyone’s house looking for a single criminal?
There were some amazing acts of heroism and selflessness during the immediate aftermath of the bombs. Not just first-responders, but ordinary people, trying to help the injured. Those people earned the “Boston Strong.”
Then the police state rolled in with all the force of a military occupation.
Only those essential to the police occupation were allowed out of their homes (including Dunkin Donuts workers – way to avoid stereotypes there!) Where were the indignant blog posts and demands for civil rights from the citizens of Boston, the ones that are Boston Strong? Where are the calls for investigations into why the police were allowed to storm into houses without a warrant or probable cause, instead of just doing a basic welfare check?
Oh yeah, everyone is too busy celebrating their release from occupation and the capture of a criminal. But Boston Strong!
Unfortunately, due to day-job issues, I will be unable to attend this year’s NRA convention. Needless to say, I am sad panda over this. Oh well, there’s always next year.
For my readers who are going, try to say hello to my friend Kenn Blanchard.
In Chapter 112, Zombie Strike battles their way in St. Louis after being shot down, much to the dismay of Castle and the Truth.

It sounds kind of like this. I do so love when Erin bitch-slaps the fools.
