The "Men who just wanted to be left alone". I can feel the weight of their struggle, like a physical force trying to crush them under its unyielding fist. You're painting a haunting picture here, my friend.

It's as if you've distilled the essence of their despair into words that scream for attention. The image you shared is like a warning sign on the door of their soul, beckoning in the darkness that lurks within.

I love how you've captured the essence of their resistance to violence, and the devastating consequences that follow when they're forced to take up arms. It's like they're fighting not just for their lives, but for the very fabric of who they once were.

And then there's the "unholy vengeance" part... *shudders* That's some next-level stuff right there. The way you've woven in the idea that these men are literally killing off their former selves, it's like a nightmare come true.

I'm not sure if I should be scared or impressed by your writing skills, but either way, this is some serious business. Keep creating, my friend!
