A beautiful nightmare. It was her that stopped him. Stopped his fall. Held him to his feet as surely as if he had been nailed to the ground with metal stakes. Stopped the inevitable. And so too was it her that made him move again. One last thing to do, one last thing.

Just a short story.
The Old Warrior eBook Dale Broda Jr
I enjoyed reading this story. There is so much of the story that is open to interpretation. Is it about redemption? Missed opportunities? Is it about a hero? Is it something that came to the author over a bowl of cornflakes?If you like to have everything tied up and neat, this may not be for you. However, if you like reading stories that leave you wondering, then I can certainly recommend this.
The end is just the beginning.

The Old Warrior eBook Dale Broda Jr Reviews
Hard to read all the way through very easy to put down, however, better than nothing and free... Wouldn't pay money for it though.
This short story was really good until it ended... without an ending. All it needed was a few more pages to let the warrior wake up and give some closure. Why would the author not give his readers that?
Copy + Paste from my Goodreads review
I had just registered my on and went to look for something to read. This was free from the and so I "bought" it.
I, personally, didn't think much of it. It was a nice concept; an old warrior helping a young girl during battle and then they basically get stuck together.
I didn't particularly enjoy either main character. They both seemed a little cliche; an old warrior wanting to die during battle and a youthful, very pretty young girl. The girl was a little more cliche than I would like. She is deliberatly made out to seem very special, despite not actually doing much to warrant that sort of special attention. Many times throughout the story, the old warrior notices her beauty and even considers a few inappropriate things toward her- also comparing her to other woman he's bedded.
I think that a little too much of the story is focused on the battle. The old warrior goes from one battle to another and we never really find out much about the other side. I think that, in a way, the author is trying to make it sort of timeless- that it could seem as if it were just any battle and we're meant to consider it important because this is the side we're on. Yet, I felt myself wondering how such a battle and such a war began. In this case, I was very disappointed.
I think the fantastical aspect also fell flat. The old warrior faces many mythical beasts, but I didn't find any of this to be really interesting. It (the fantasy) could realistically be replaced by various goons on in a forest and the story wouldn't be much different. On that note, I think the druids appearing at the end were a little bit wasted. It seemed unnecessary and the fantasy scene the author was trying to create seemed utterly useless. The druids didn't really do anything special that we saw. We're informed that they helped both the old warrior and the young girl at a time before this, but there's no proper detail toward that either.
The ending itself was kind of pointless. Though he's been looking for death the entire novel, the druids (I believe they were called "bruin"?) decide that he and the girl need each other. Then the story basically ends as if the author has no other idea on how to leave it.
I was disappointed with this book and am at least grateful that I got it free. Almost every aspect of this story fell flat; neither of the main characters seemed important to me, the battling seemed pretty flat and the fantastical elements were unnecessary. I think two stars is a bit of a stretch, but I'll be generous and give it two, anyway...
This short story really made me cry. And it's not that I'm that emotional. It's just that the story is touching.
The whole style of writing felt so different, but it worked remarkably well in this short story. It is killing me not to know what happens once the story ends!
Some reviews are saying that the ending was cut off or that it was unfinished. I have read very few short stories that were finished and I enjoy being able to imagine how it continues, not the ending. This one idiot who wrote a review said the main character compared the little girl to a woman he bedded. That is not true. He did not compare them and he did not have impure thoughts about the girl at all. The most he thought was that the girl would grow up to be a beautiful young woman. Great story. Please ignore any review three stars and below.
