Bordo had a very itchy neck. The ticks had been torturing him for days.In the soldiers' barracks it was impossible to keep him safe. Cursed the day he decided to enlist. When the recruiting unit passed by his street, everything seemed very nice: You'll have an exciting future, they said. And off he went. Everything looked good the further away from his father he was.
Excellent character introduction. I like the mix of alien and familiar imagery (and smells). I like the personification of the pax. Extra points for the great artwork. I especially love that you included the sketches.
Thank you very much for your appreciation. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to write literature and draw. When I make illustrations, I always put in a summary of the process, as I am a self-taught novice and have learned almost everything by looking at the work of others.
Thank you for the contest. Thanks for the imagination.
