a history of violence

I'm Lux, a twenty-something-year-old college student who enjoys history, sarcasm, intelligence and a quick wit. Very much an old soul, I am a future doctorate candidate for history a la World War II and novelist. I spend my free time reading about demons, conspiracy theories, time travel and the magic bullet that killed JFK.

My biggest weaknesses include expensive alcohol, Red Dawn parodies and dashing young men dressed in 1940s military garb.

Gordon brushed snow from his weapon and the ammo box adjacent to the gun, telling his assistant, Pvt. Stephen Grodzki, to look sharp, pay attention to detail. A shot from a German riflemen rang out. The bullet hit Gordon in the left shoulder and exited from the right shoulder. It had brushed his spinal column; he was paralyzed from the neck down.He slid to the bottom of his foxhole. “The canteen cup followed me and the hot liquid spilled in my lap. I can see the stream rising upward to this very day.”

“Walter’s face was ashen and his eyes closed,” Lipton recalled. “He looked more dead than alive.” In the extreme cold, it seemed to Lipton that the plasma was flowing too slowly, so he took the bottle from Roe and put it under his arm inside his clothes to warm it up.
