On the Rocks

Joe's walk along the beach ended violently with him getting knifed in the gut by a new gang member eager to prove himself to the other gang members.

Beach Attack

The men knew it would be risky attacking from the beach, especially without armor. One by one the half-naked warriors were mercilessly cut down by enemy arrows.

Waiting

The gladiator fought well and yet he lies on his back in the sand with his opponent's foot on his chest and his opponent's blade against the gladiator's throat. Only the Emperor knows for sure if the gladiator will live or die.

Private Affair

Two gladiators fight for the amusement of those attending the Emperor's private banquet. One man will die with a blade stuck in his gut. Which one will it be?

The Arena

Gladiators battle for their lives in the arena. One gladiator has already lost the fight and lies face down in the sand with a sword in his back.

Competition

The Emperor was not pleased with the outcome of the competition and so he had one of his archers send an arrow into the chest of the winner, insuring a win by default for his favored nephew.

Against the Wall

The gladiator was slammed back against the wall and stabbed hard in the gut by his opponent's sword. The blade cut easily through the gladiator's exposed flesh and tore through his muscular torso, pinning him against the wall. His opponents ripped the sword out of the gladiator's belly and the gladiator fell to the sand clutching the gaping wound in his gut with both hands.

Ambushed

The gladiator never saw the archers that launched the arrows that ripped into his thickly muscled body. By the time the archers reached their prey, the gladiator had succumbed to his wounds.

By His Side

Fighting by the side of Maximus was an honor for the gladiator. Unfortunately, it was an honor that would have to be savored in death. The muscular gladiator was about to be run through the gut with a deadly thrust from an enemy sword he never saw coming.

In the Jungle

Tarzan easily defeated several attacking tribesman, tossing them around like little children. But as Tarzan tossed one of the warriors over his head, his torso was momentarily fully exposed. A tribesman lunged forward and stabbed Tarzan in the gut with a vicious thrust of his spear. Tarzan threw the tribesman to the ground but the spear had done its damage.
