A/N: I wrote this a while back and thought 'What the heck?' I like short narratives.
It rained arrows
And flooded swords
And the silt that washed up to make fertile the banks of the Nile were the bodies of dead men.
My horrified gaze was riveted to the sight
From atop the tower walls
And I felt the fear seeping into my heart
Fire licked the heels of my boots
Blood trickled down my stomach
Landing upon the cold stone floors
I plucked the shaft from my waist
Falling to my knees
And the light of the world escaped me
