New at DKA: “Weapons of War” by Stephen Mackey
At DKA, we are beginning our May issue with an innovative story about angels and weapons.
“Weapons of War”
by Stephen Mackey
Tease:
"As servants of the Almighty, angels are beings in a unique position to influence the universe and its inhabitants. Many believe them to be strictly bound to their Creator's will... but what if He allowed them some leeway for decisions, and therefore, mistakes? And what if some angels in His service started thinking that in matters of warfare they should be acting less angelic and more... human? Are the agents of change the innovative heralds of a new age, or just recklessly self-destructive? Are those who stick to the old ways dooming their race to archaic extinction, or merely being content with what they are? This story poses all of these questions, but leaves the answers to the reader."
I particularly like this story for its angelic perspective on what makes a weapon good or bad, i.e. appropriate for use by God’s forces, or not.
Give it a read! You’ll be glad you did.
