Billows of darkness smoulder into a red sunset. The ever changing face above, morphed into a grimace as charcoal wisps entice the atmosphere. Pirouetting tawny leaves waste no time escaping; scurrying in disarray past the wretched area that tempts them to stay a few moments more with the confident malicious grin of a force truly evil. The rays of justice are replaced by a tedious, starless canvas. The houses’ triangular hats are poised and manage to keep their composure, shielding unwilling eyes. Their structures tower: well defined, prominent chestnut veins of planks, only more daunting when accompanied by the stone barrier which proudly shows off its battle scars.
The clock tower, chiming with glee, stands at the villagers' side. Marking how many minutes and seconds the maiden has left. A madman's smirk carved onto the clock face; growing wider with every passing second. Every second she could have spent in an elegant field, far away from the inferno she is now trapped in. Gusts of air, carousels of agony, carry nothing but hate and pain. The piercing wind shrieks the word, an octave louder and louder than the last.
"Betrayal!"
The daunting hour comes closer as her body grows weak. Although her fate is inevitable, the fire in her eyes has not left her obsolete. Burning against the crowd’s rage ever so brightly, challenging even the strongest of opponents. Her locks that once rivalled the rays of the sun block her vision as she start praying for anything. Shrill screams for her saviour escape her cold lips. Desperation clouds her thoughts as she is drugged with the excruciating sense of pain. Determination courses through her veins. She scans for any sign of a miraculous escape from the solemn hour. However, her fate is no one's fool. She watches as virtue reduced to vice.
The flames of justice are lit for a new tomorrow. The mahogany shape her saviour was pinned to is buried in her unclean attire; not even that is safe from the clasps of the ongoing inferno. The

    You can’t begin to comprehend what hell is until you’ve walked in her shoes. The demons that consume her soul plague her every waking hours and terrorize the only shroud of sanity she has left. The desolate land engulfs almost, but not quite, her entire being. Tears stream from her stony eyes and blood from her wounds like the raging River Styx on one’s way to the ‘other side’. As the tides of aguish and misery crash into this weary woman she crumbles; slowly she becomes a chip, a piece of the woman she used to be. The destruction and neglect have forced her to callous her eyes and anesthetize…

    “Get over”, he intoned. “How?” The man had no answer and allowed silence to rejoin the conversation. He was wrestled from his thoughts by the shattering of the silence. A loud growl came from behind them. A beast crawled from around the corner of the street. Men were shouting loud and delirious sounds, like some strange, new language. They saw the family. “Run,” the man gasped. “RUN!” They turned and fled like rats. Their derelict shoes beat against harsh grey, but they were no match for the beast that roared after them. The women’s legs, carrying both her and the young child, began to slow. The man watched as she started to fall behind. Fear struck. He could not watch the two things that he loved most in the world killed. He turned. Facing the beast. “Run,” he said in a calm voice. He ran at the beast. It roared at him. Fear led to death. His greatest compassion was death. That was the last she saw of her…

    The crack of gunfire in the defining darkness drew him from his sleep. He silently awakened his raw-boned family. Sitting up and listening to the pandemonium which lay outside of the windowless skyscraper. The fire danced around creating demonic shadows upon the walls and across their gaunt faces. The man held his wife’s only hand as they rolled back to their sleep. The lemon soured light beamed throughout the city resting like a gargantuan beast, overpowering the horizon. The Dilapidated buildings, the burning city, a destroyed world. Once again he was first to rise.…

    Frown sinking to worry. Forgetting all fears of darkness, the clicking of heels reaches the boy’s side. This woman’s smile calming, light, voice lulling. She's careful not to startle him as she brings him securely to her chest. Her once spotless outfit washing in the mud-stained concrete. Meanwhile, a spark has grown in the boy’s eye. This stranger matching visions of guardians in his past. His weak body comes alive, a flash of silver brightens the street. The boy shoots up. A jagged silver strip tearing the woman's cloth. Her heart halting - mid beat failing. Gone is this privileged girl an empty shell in her place. Organs once keeping her inside now dangling on the street. Cackling breaks the mist. Excited hands fiddling with the tan coloured skin, mouth straining so unused to his smile. So our scene can now fade on the platted strings of flesh, the boy having gained one tiny spot of enjoyment…

She missed him fiercely, the security of his embrace, the comfort of his voice, his tender kiss so long not felt. She could not resist running to him, but there was something unusual in her gait. Tears fell so fast she could hardly see. Most importantly, there was something dire that the king needed to know. But it was as if she saw everything through a haze, sluggish and gray as the fog on a winter morning. Everything would be fine if only she could reach them.…
