Gunpowder Moon

by David Pedreira

Speak only when spoken to, he told himself, and then not much.

Whoever finds the secret to summoning a woman’s power when it’s most needed will rule the universe,

Put a man in a completely alien environment, in a place where his mind tells him he has no business being, and his shocked system will react in a consistent fashion. He’ll become a lemming, latching on to anyone with more experience than him as a lost man does to God.

False comfort in process, he thought, for a crisis that would probably result in a slow-motion death.

Fight club reference?

War is sweet to those with no experience of it.
