The crimson-flooded plains shown dull and thick under the steel grey sky. On the horizon, a black checkered mass serpentined slowly, but menacingly, through the valleys, and when we listened closely we could hear the enemy's war cries piercing the beckoning winds.
We stood shoulder-to-shoulder, breathing in the tangy stink of iron that hung over the landscape, shields of manhood bouying us in the face of our inevitable fate. And, as the enemy marched ever closer, we could feel vibrations, like earth tremors, tingle up our feet and legs. I took in a deep breath, but my lungs were scarred with fiery smoke and clenched with disease of unknown origin. I shouted at the Lord, but the sound came out choked, and sputtered in coughs.
Starved reeds were flattened from violence and streaked in mud-red, and in places blood made its way like a villaneous river slicing through the battlefield. Bodies were strewn about randomly, sometimes piled haphazardly, often filleted in ragged parts.
