DESCRIPTION:
"Mountain of Kindjals" according to Violet W. Keranen. Mountain of Kindjals by Chrissy K. McVay is very well written. The characters are believable. The ending was especially good, since it was a complete surprise. In fact, the ending remained in my thoughts for a long time. I thoroughly enjoyed this short story.. Mountain of Kinjals CCCWriter Back when Russia was the Soviet Union, cruel Tsars ruled and forced young men into battle and were viewed as less than worthwhile if they were less than military material. Peter is young and argues against the value of a war against peaceful Murids as they march on for the Tsar. The stories of each character's background give the reader a picture of the old vs. the young soldier and the evolving growth or stagnant beliefs of
As Peter fights to hold onto his courage and sanity he wonders if his mentor, the blood hungry Russian warrior, Valerik, is really a demonic vision or the ghost of a lost soul. Peter is a young, poetic soldier trapped in a doomed battle against the vicious Murids in the misty Caucasian Mountains during the era of Russian Tsar Nicholas I. Story was a top finalist in 'Anthology Magazine' 2005 short story competition.
