He glared down at Amjad with a ferocious glint in his eye. There was no mercy there.
In Amjad's oppressive world, Saint Nicholas returns with vengeance to restore the Christmas spirit!
This is such an entertaining and well-written story. I'm so accustomed to Santa's nice and jolly persona that reading about his vengeful side here is both shocking and hilarious. The futuristic setting with all the high tech aerial confrontation makes this story action-packed, entertaining and though-provoking. Now the people of Croydon are free to celebrate Christmas and perhaps leave some biscuits and milk for Santa!
Well done. Thank you for participating in this Christmas Edition. Happy holidays!

Thank you - I'm glad you liked it!
I think people have forgotten Santa Claus' ferocious origins, things like Old Nick and the Krampus, he's definitely a judge first and a present-giver second once he's decided who deserves them.
Also, I'm sad and do actual research when I'm writing near-future stuff. I used to work in the Whitgift Centre, and the Raven is a new design of drone that British Aerospace are just starting to design for the RAF. Did you spot how they lost them ? The rapidly repeating high pitched interference tone was the sleigh bells as Santa zipped past them on the way from the North Pole to Croydon 😁
