This... is how they die.

Every hero has a great story. But we sometimes forget about those who suffer in those stories. To most of these side characters, there is only demise, they won't get saved, rescued, protected, or even helped. Some will do things they'll regret, and some will do things they won't be able to live with. Some will do... Terrible things... But most of them did their best.

There was no hope of survival.

There was only an unwinnable war, with few winnable battles.

They did not win their battles.

This... is how they die...

A couple of short stories I've written or am writing about people in connection to popular characters in a book that I've been working on for the past. . . . .... Forever...

"This... is how they die." is about a couple of background characters that all had connections to popular characters I've written in one way or another. They... will all die. It shows what happened to them after the popular characters left them to die or left them alone.

There is also a mysterious figure that somehow knows all of these people and has an agenda of it's own...
