The Naxli aliens have invaded. Citizens are fleeing. But not everyone.
Jorge Oliva is determined to protect his neighborhood, especially his local VGW--Veterans of Galactic Wars--post home. And he's got a secret. That ancient, "inert" ME-444 Salamander, commonly known as a Widowmaker by a generation of Marines, that is hanging on the wall of his apartment isn't so inert after all. A former Salamander gunner, he sort of "modified" the museum piece just a bit.
Working Widowmaker or not, what can one old man whose active Marine days were many decades ago do to blunt the alien soldiers advance? But one thing's for sure. Never count out a former Marine, no matter how old he is.
("A Line in the Sand" is a short story set in the best-selling Sentenced to War universe and was previously published in We Dare: Old Age and Treachery by Theogony Books.)
