Wehj is not, he's an anxiety-ridden engineer who keeps getting dragged into combat zones and handed weapons.

Also a fondness for the grotesque.)Froborrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08782366056731381450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5106243389695628804.post-60141768652282800752014-09-12T20:52:35.822-04:002014-09-12T20:52:35.822-04:00Love the last couple of paragraphs.
