In the dying frost of a Roman winter, three soldiers gather to celebrate a young comrade's birthday with laughter, wine, and brotherhood, briefly dulling the hunger gnawing at their bellies. But when the food runs out, desperation gives way to a choice that cannot be undone.
Vicimus is a brutal confessional short story told by a dying man to his son. A story of survival at the cost of the soul. What begins as camaraderie among one of Caesar's supply lines descends into guilt, silence, and the quiet horror of what men will do to live.
As betrayal and Roman justice unfold within a snow-covered camp, one question lingers: What did we conquer, if not ourselves?
Pocket-Sized TragediesPocket-Sized Tragedies is a collection of brief, standalone works of literary fiction exploring history, humanity, and the darker turns of the human experience.
Designed to be read in a single sitting, each story delivers a complete tale in a compact form- small books with lasting consequences.
