Slaughter

I tried but you were the ones who failed. I told everyone that it would happen. You failed to acknowledge the danger that crept in on every sense. Even the heavens knew. Rain poured and lightning crashed that fated night. You could see it in the soldiers’ eyes as they secured our village. For when the Archon came, the end always followed. Yes, I ran that dreaded day. I was still alive, and you were all dead by your own complacency.
