The Rebellion Advent Calendar: Day Sixteen

December 16. After a devastating loyalist counterattack on Roast Potato Road left an entire battalion of rebel elves covered in a thick layer of Christmas Pudding mixture, Rudolf is incensed.

‘Claus is dying,’ his spies tell him, confirming the rogue elf’s claims from the previous day. ‘He is weak. He is completely out of sherry.’

Rudolf knows he must strike hard, and strike now, but the bulk of his troops are simply too sticky to move. He comes to a decision, and calls out to his fellow reindeer.

‘Dancer, Prancer, Donner, Blitzen, to me!’ he cries. The battle hardened reindeer assemble. ‘Tonight we spare the elves and take the war to the Red One ourselves! The Santa War is in our own hooves!’

And with that, the reindeer are away, crashing through the well-entrenched lines toward Claus and a what they hope will be an end to the tinsellydestruction…

Is the war finally ending? We don’t know, to be honest. Probably not just yet, eh? In the meantime, entertain yourself with a prime slice of Wendig. Yes, you can win a pristine copy of The Complete Double Dead – and it’s not even out until February!
