(april 1st, 2012.)

     I walked through the maket staring around. my tatered clothes hung loosely around my body and i stared at my toes trying to ignore the pangs of hunger.  I noticed a vendor fast asleep how had been selling warm fresh bread. I... I couldnt help myself.  I reached out my hand and grabbed a slice.  The vendor did not stir, but the one selling fruit a stand away had been watching closely opened his mouth to exclaim..

"Guards! GUARDS! help! thief!"  Of course it was all in my languge italiano.

I muttered under my breath."Cazo."Not going to translate that.  A small patrol of four guards heard, and saw the peice of bread in my out streached hand. i stuffed it in my coat poket.  

"stop!" exclaimed the leader, a almograver, who wore the best armor in the renicanse,  i saw my chance, for the guards were a little over 10 meters away.i jumped onto the side of a building and began to climb. an arow wizzed past my head, and the guards began to give pursuit.  i heard the click of a crossbow and relized that a ladder was erected next to me meaning a guard already was pearched on the roof.   i saw the point of an arrow shinning silver.  A sharp whiz and pain blossomed in my shoulder.  After a short 3 seconds blood began to drip onto the guards below.  They cheereed on their comrad, not bothering to wipe the crimson from their helms.  i had seconds to move before the arrow that would fall me shot from the archers bow.  I saw the edge of my vision faid to a fuzzy black.  I heard the soft twang of a bow.  Such a peacful sound, almost musical.  Several more twangs and a man, climbing faster, much faster, then i was able.  i felt a heavy presure on the back of my neck.  i wondered, what the inferno?, before the blackness in my vision closed into the mans face and i lost all sense of being,

was i dead?

no.
