Very reminiscent of a folktale, or a myth even. I love how it flows - so naturally, so flawlessly. Well done!

I like this a lot! I love 'he saw only glass/the gun and the glory' . It just sounds cool. I also really like that he was a shell; it's sort of a pun, seeing as shellbomb. I also really like the end. Good job! (how old is this, btw?)
