Excellent entry. I too have nieces and I very much enjoy their company, so I feel this guys pain in not being the entertaining uncle. The train of thought of the soldier is easy to follow and it hits on familiar tones to a normal every day human. When something takes family from you, the feeling of hatred runs deep and true. Perhaps he’s ripe for the taint of Chaos to take hold?
What I disliked: I’ll come right out and say that I didn’t connect the title to the story. I guess that is a thing I needed. Author, at the end of this please explain your title unless someone else can. The only whimpering I’m getting is from myself franticly looking for what I missed to make the title-story connection.
What I liked: This sounds like a podcast of an angry soldier. I liken it to Starship Troopers, hunting a foe on their own turf. Going straight to the source to ensure complete and total retaliation. I like Lizardmen but I secretly want to watch this guy make it home with the jawbone of a Kroxigor as his new weapon.
