<p>This story was first published as part of our Original Worlds call for submissions. If you enjoy reading or listening to tales like these, you can always find more over at ColdOpenStories.com. While you’re there, you can also submit your own manuscripts, audition for voice work, and join the free Discord. This month, we wanted to do something special by bringing to life some of our spooky, weird, and gripping tales, so be sure to subscribe, hint hint, for those very special episode drops. Leave a like on them, and this video, too. It tells us that you want even more episodes every week. As we celebrate 5 years of programming, we just wanted to say thanks. Thanks for listening, and for sharing this channel within your network. It all helps spread the word.</p>

This story was first published as part of our Original Worlds call for submissions. If you enjoy reading or listening to tales like these, you can always find more over at ColdOpenStories.com. While you’re there, you can also submit your own manuscripts, audition for voice work, and join the free Discord. This month, we wanted to do something special by bringing to life some of our spooky, weird, and gripping tales, so be sure to subscribe, hint hint, for those very special episode drops. Leave a like on them, and this video, too. It tells us that you want even more episodes every week. As we celebrate 5 years of programming, we just wanted to say thanks. Thanks for listening, and for sharing this channel within your network. It all helps spread the word.]]></itunes:summary>

        <itunes:summary><![CDATA[The lost and the damned – this is the name given to souls who shun the Holy Light of the Emperor. Among them are Rudolf Nusz, a ‘golden-boy’ guardsman who hid his sadism before turning against the Imperium. When a mutiny goes wrong, he attempts to flee the powers of Chaos but is dragged back in by former ally Sebastian Kent. Together, the two men embark on a path of violence to save a traitor ’s spirit from crossing over to the other side, all while their twin capacities for murder and torture propel them into a war between mankind’s worst natures.
