you know what I meant....
Kozmos
Jew Detective
The winter was harsh and unforgiving. Me and Meryl were cut off from our squad and lost in a snowstorm. Worse the PUNF goon squad were out looking for us. We were hiding in the forest, the snow and the darkness, white and black mixed and gave us refuge....a temporary one at best.
"How long do we have before they catch up?"
"I dont know Meryl, the storm has slowed them down, but they are not far behind."
"Do you think our squad managed to get away?"
"They were in a hard spot, pinned down with nowhere to go, I'm not sure."
"Hmpf, unlikely we cant get back with them then, eh? Ugh it's colder then the devil's heart."
"Here take my coat."
"Thanks. Your a real angel."
"Your not so bad yourself."
"We gotta stop meeting like this D..."
Like all the bad things in my life it started with a death of a woman. A gunshot boomed and she fell down in slow-motion. She was a nice girl, not really a stone-cold killer....and now she was stone-cold dead. The bullet holes were rubies on her chest, blood glowing on her ivory skin. She was so beautiful. The killer was smiling, but I knew the appetites of ghosts intimately. They hungered for revenge. Mine wasn't the most original approach to the problem: An eye for an eye, the oldest principle of revenge. Old as dirt, but still going strong. I pulled out my revolver and filled the bastard with lead. Then unexpected something split my skull, a glaring light poured through the hole in my head and showed me the truth. Suddenly, for the first time in I don't know how long, I realized, I didn't wish to be dead.
Amidst the wreckage of your own making. Do you stay there, eyes squeezed shut, afraid to move, hoping to bleed to death? Or do you crawl out, help your loved ones, try to fix it? I choose the latter. The bullet in my head moved a fatal, microscopic distance. I got up, my skull feeling several sizes too small for my brain. The two soldier looked shocked, and were right to be so. I quick drawed my second revolver and shot the first soldier in the head. The other turned tail and ran, probably to report to his officer. The word was out. Something wicked this way comes. David Falk at large.
No one would be walking out of here alive. I was already so far past the point-of-no-return I couldn't remember what it had looked like when I had passed it. I remember when everything had started out as black and white, us and them. Somewhere down the road, the line went blurry, the colors started to run, got smudged and gray. It didnt matter to me anymore. I was going in, adrenaline pumping through my aching veins, the revolvers felt fused to my hands. I reloaded them and went after the suriving soldier.
Not too far away, he reached the camp, I overheard him to talking to his commanding officer, a frenchman. I never trust a frenchmen.
"What do you mean he's unstoppable? You are superior to him in every way that counts. You are better trained, better equipped, you outnumber him at least 10 to 1. Do your job!"
Frenchmen were bad monsters. They turned good people into freaking zombie demons from outer space. I felt the rise of that old familiar feeling....I hated it...I welcomed it....
I moved fast through the forest in the dark, firing one shoot after another, the soldiers falling to the ground. Constantly moving, I was like a ninja, my kung fu was strong. Soon, everyone except the officer were dead. I slowly approached him, emerging from the cover of darkness. Typical French, he was weeping and waving a white flag, begging me not to kill him. I put the long barrel of my revolver against his head, the last bullet in the chamber just for him. I thought to myself if the only choice I've got is to do the wrong thing, then it's not really the wrong thing, is it? It's more like fate.
*BLAM*
As surely as the bullet rips through the victim's flesh, organ and bone, it shatters the image of the man who presses the trigger. There I was, a brooding underdog avenger alone against an empire of evil out to right a grave injustice. Everything was subjective. There were only personal apocalypses. Nonetheless they were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark to everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the trigger. And then it was over. The storm seemed to lose its frenzy. The ragged clouds gave way to the stars above.

My fellow Polish Citizens.
Last year, the near assassination of the Hungarian regent occurred, and was followed by a devastating civil war which shattered Hungary. Today, their economy has faltered, their homes have fallen into disrepair, and the nation itself is falling into imminent danger from within.
You might assume that this is due to their government. However, this is not only a ridiculous, but a dangerous claim to make. The Hungarian government is not at fault for this, no more than our government is responsible for the destruction of some of the infrastructure of the Polish nation. The utter devastation that the Hungarians suffered was perpetrated entirely by none other than the Egalitist rebels.
Some of you will disagree with me here, but the sensible ones will not. Egalitism is not at all what it claims to be.
Egalitism promises that it shall bring the workers freedom and happiness. Instead, as we saw in Transylvania, it brought them only ruin and death.
Egalitism promises a new era of prosperity. Instead, it has ruined the industry of Hungaryand attacked our infrastructure as well!
Egalitism promises that everyone shall become equal under the law. Yet they do not explain why or how they will accomplish this: in fact, all they do is bring death to all.
That, my friends, is the equality that they promise you. That is their promise of prosperity, laid down in black and white. That is the freedom and happiness for all that they promise. What they promise is a lie. They promise much, and then deliver the opposite. They promise that they will help the people, and then they kill the people.
The Egalitists are merely another rebel group attempted to install a despotic regime upon the world. Their talk of peace, prosperity, and equality is a sham. It is a lie intended to bring the workers under their banners, that they may crush the workers shortly afterwards. It is a falsehood, a piece of propaganda, a discoloration of the truth that men should know.
The Egalitists are not your friends. They do not wish to protect, or strengthen the cause of the people. We saw their intentions last year in Hungary. There, we saw their mercy, their humility. We saw their lies in the plainest light possible.
Curse the Egalitists. Let the armies of God smite their evil lies. Let the forces of righteousness drive out these hordes of men who want only power for themselves, and mean to attain it with a lie.
Let us rise, my countrymen, let us rise and destroy this Egalitist menace. If you know where they are hiding, quietly approach the police, and we shall destroy their cells were they stand. If you should know about their next operation, tell us, that we may set a trap for them and destroy them.
Do not keep silent about the injustices that will be inflicted upon your countrymen! Speak! Speak, and be heard, and drive these traitors to hell!

My fellow Poles.
I am here on the twelfth day of the strike in the steel factories of Krakow. You have gathered to hear me speak; perhaps you are here to jeer me. Many of the members in the crowd here are ardent supporters of this new Egalitist movement. It is for you that I have come here today.
It is very understandable that you are discontented with the wages and treatment you are receiving in your current jobs. You have been receiving less than you have earned, you are maltreated to an extreme extent. This is all true. Yet some of you have decided that the best treatment for these ailments is Egalitism. This is patently false.
Egalitism is not one of the cures for the illnesses that the world is suffering at this point. Egalitism is one of the illnesses itself.
The Egalitists are supposedly supporting your cause. They support the workers, and the ownership of the state by the workers, is that not correct? They support prosperity for the whole nation, is that not correct?
My friends, that is indeed not correct. The Egalitists this past year revealed their true colors when they bombed the infrastructure in Poland. The Egalitists showed the world that they were unafraid of slaughtering thousands of workers, as in Transylvania, to give power to a few masterminds.
What the Egalitists promise is freedom and equality for all.
What they deliver... is death and destruction.
You do not deserve the latter. I urge you to end your support for the Egalitists. The liberty that they promise you is already at hand!
If this state did not support the workers cause, then would it let the strike here go on? No! The state fully supports the workers in this cause.
Yet what we support is the most crucial of all truths: negotiation, and compromise. What the Egalitists support is an absolutist regime in a different coat of paint.
What ask you, thus, is to end your support for the treacherous and violent Egalitists. Instead, negotiate with the steel factories for higher wages, and all will be well. And do not lend sustenance or support to these Egalitists. Neither aid or abet these fools. Support the nation of Poland. Support true liberty. Unite, and drive the Egalitists from this nation!

A speech to an assembly of the people in Turku and an open letter in the newspapers of Finland...
I stand here at the fore of our great nation, good people, and I see. I see the peak to which we've been striving for so long. I see our labours beginning to bear fruit and I say to you, we have not lost heart! Where a weaker people would have turned and given up, we have pushed even harder! We have faced our share of difficulties through the years, but, truly, does the righteous man not fall seven times, only to rise eight?
Thus, as we continue our ascent, we must use the new ground we have covered. We must build upon our advantages or lose them forever. In this spirit, the Crown announces a new way to strengthen our people against foreign domination - through the Youth of Finland.
This program will prepare our young ones for future leadership. Their talents will be identified and their places in the Finland of tomorrow assured. Whether their destiny is to be a great general or a valiant worker, there is a vital role for each and every child. The same is true for you, fellow citizens! Therefore, rededicate yourselves, good people. Put forth fresh effort into whatever your vocation may be. Wake up each morning intent on attaining perfection in your specific duty to Finland, for together, we forge a greater Finland!
And yet there are those who would undo our work. Yes, good people of Finland, I know it is hard to believe, but there still exist Egalitists in this world. I know you have not been swayed in the past, my people, but you must remain fortified. The Devil takes many forms. Satan can make himself appear beautiful to a man, but he is all lies and emptiness. Though they speak of equality, the only "equality" they bring is the equality of civilian and soldier, where both die by their traitorous hands. They speak of freedom, but the Egalitist will only sell you into the bonds of sin. All they say is naught but deceit and villainy. Do not, good people, think of them as normal humans, for they are possessed of a greater Evil. They gave the Prince of Darkness the smallest entrance and he took them completely. This is why even the smallest treason must be stamped out, the smallest crack in the Fortress of the Mind must be shored up against the Adversary.
Therefore turn out the Traitor, give no harbour to the Apostate, aid not the Subversive. Bring to Light that which has been shrouded in Darkness so that it may been healed by the Almighty. Fear not for their lives, my people. Fear for their souls.
God be with you in this and all things.
Signed,
King Frederik II

What did you say? I wasn't honestly paying that much attention, what with my constant nation switching...
And I'm not particularly inspired for a more... inspired type of story.
