They had gathered for the war. They knew that this would be it, the final assault. Many gathered here would never return. Many gathered here would have their lives irrevocably changed in some way, be it through injury or psychological damage, or loss of companions and friends. Many here knew the cost, but they gathered regardless, and got ready to lay down their lives for their cause.

Many, that was, except for Albert and Fred, the spots in which they should have occupied being empty and stark amongst the soldiers there.

Albert and Fred, then labeled as deserters and traitors. Their lives forfeit due to their fear and cowardice. Their families shamed and vilified, and for what reason?

Only Albert and Fred knew, and such was their love for each other that they had forsaken their very lives for it. They knew they could no longer co-exist with their fellow soldiers, for their love was a forbidden one. So they were hunted down and were killed for their desertion of the state, but they died with the knowledge that they may have deserted an army, but would have never deserted their hearts.

Comment by ThingFish:
Fantastic shot. I especially like the axe and the way it has cleaved so cleanly into the hard disc. The feeling of mystery and suspense is heightened by the suggestion in the title that there are maybe dark secrets being hidden here. Very well executed and creatively presented without going over the top with none of the gore and blood that is so often associated with cases like this.

Comment by Nforsberg:
haha nice. what I want to know is if that was a lucky strike or if you precut the drive and then inserted the axe.

Comment by TrollMan:
Lovely eyes and a great shot. I like the composition and crop. You might have been going for a shallow depth of field to get the attention drawn to the eyes and glasses but wish you had included the mouth.
All in all a great shot!

Her expression here is so great, so natural, this picture would have done so well on the personality challenge also. There is something about this picture that is welcoming, inviting, and familiar. Well done.
