Promises are meant to be broken. That was all ex marine and sniper Eric Kane ever knew. Racked with feelings of guilt, self-loathing, and doubt, Kane attempts to drink his sorrows away, hoping that he'll be able to forget. However, one night, his whole world is turned upside down by a drunken stunt. Held hostage by Ace and forced to do her bidding, Kane must learn to forgive himself for the terrible deeds that he has committed while his old demons threaten to resurface from his past. He must be able to adapt to his dynamic situations while trying to discover his true strength within as time continues to tick on by. Kane is bombarded by a host of new emotions, one of which he thought he would never find again, and new faces, one of which he thought he'd never fall in love with. Will Kane be able to overcome his demons? Or will he succumb to them and emerge as the monster he so desperately tries to hide away? Only time will tell. [Note: This is a collaborative work]

Reaching my hand into the drawer, I felt around until my hand came into contact with the metal hilt. My fingers curled around the handle instinctively. I gripped the handle so hard it hurt. I could feel the tendons in my wrist snap as my knuckles turned white. I couldn't let him do that to her again. I just couldn't. I had to protect her. I couldn't just stand there still and do nothing forever. I had to act. I winced at the slight sound of the blade dragging against the wooden bottom of the drawer. Although it was more like a sibilant hiss, it sounded more like a large grating sound in my ears. My heart was pounding and my ears were ringing. I could feel my hand holding the blade tremble as I slowly drew it out of the drawer and held it to my side. I had to steel myself for my confrontation. I couldn't hide in the shadows any longer. I had to do something...anything. I couldn't be a bystander anymore. I couldn't bear that pain again. I didn't want it to be all my fault again. [Note: This is a collaborative work]
