A Pitch VI

Well, surprise surprise. Get ready for another installment of A Pitch series without further ado I present a pitch VI.

Mercenaries, PMCs, renegades, guns for hire all can be found in the battlefield. War is hell, people know that, yet this is not a story of war and strife. In a burning city somewhere in the middle east is where this story begins. The city has been ravaged by warring factions using mercenaries. As the city burns to the ground and its citizens executed one by one a young woman goes to investigate the strange noise she hears outside of her childrens' room. With a handgun in her trembling hands she sees a horrible sight. Her children dead in bed and standing right next to them the mercenary responsible for their death. Enraged she unloads an entire clip into the mercenary's chest. He falls clutching his stomach to hold in his guts. The young woman with tears in her eyes approaches the young man and removes his mask, only to realize that the mercenary is a childhood friend and her first love. How did it come to this? Who is the young mercenary? Why did he turn his back to her? As the city burns the young man tells the woman his story: the cities he destroyed, the lives he crushed, and the tragedy of war. This is a two sided story the mercenary's is of death and destruction, the young woman's a tale of tragedy and struggle. Together the stories come together and form a war time fairy tale from the point of views of soldiers and victims.

An unbelievable collection of war stories and tragedies that can only be dubbed:

The Mercenary Suite

The title may be a little corny sounding, but I think that it best describes the series in its entirety. I can tell you this now that this and Chinese Ghosts will end sadly. But in a way I want the viewer to be sad the first time they watch it and then when they rewatch it'll make them think. So thats the sixth pitch, gonna have to think about the seventh for a while, so expect it in the summer.
