An
excerpt of Marcus Walker, aka Death, of RIDERS
In this
short excerpt, main character Gideon (aka War) and Marcus aren’t quite seeing
eye to eye. Enjoy!
Marcus
had just produced a scythe. It materialized in a dusty swirl, extending from
his hand to the desert earth.
A
freakin’ scythe.
I
shouldn’t have been surprised. Wasn’t Death—the Grim Reaper—always shown with a
scythe? Still, this was the first one I’d ever seen in person and let me tell
you— a staff with a massive curved blade at the end? Terrifying. This was no
ordinary scythe, either. The thing glowed in the night, soft like the moon, but
it put off enough light to illuminate Marcus’s face. His eyes were steady and
cold. Glacial. Pure glacial fury. All for me.

DeleteFew weeks ago my girlfriend told me that she was fed up, so she packed her stuff and left me while I was taking a walk to cool off. When I got back, I was so messed up because I didn't even know what to do, it was like my whole life was coming to an end. That night I drove to a friend’s house and he was nice enough to give me a description of a man who did spells that could bring her back for me. He said this man brought her fiancée back to him after 2days. The man's email is emutemple@gamil.com, it was this man that then did a spell and brought Claire back to my life. She was now so humble and calm, she was respectful and lovely even more than i can imagine. This man is really strong and accountable. I never regret anything through him. meet him if you need help in your love life. visit his website you may find your solution there https://emutemple.wordpress.com/
