Sutler

SUTLER

noun
(historical) A person who followed an army and sold provisions to the soldiers.



He sold all matter of things
Food, drinks. Girls. Dreams.
But when the ghosts came back after the battle
Even the sutler had no spare lives for them.

This is fantastic. Chilling. Beautiful. A ghost story... a war tale... just haunting.
