The Bread of Life

Attack on home

It was midnight and the village of Hamartia was up. The town was filled with wickedness that never ended. Filling the skies with lights; the streets with booze; and the folks giving into their lustful desires. Then came screaming, blood and fire. Giant heavily armored men of darkness started attacking the village. The sound of splitting wood just before the door caves in and two soldiers enter the house. One standing on the right and the other on the left. Heavily breath holding a sword in their hand. Heavily breathing the soldiers begin to flip over furniture, search the house. They come across two boys hiding in the corner with fear on their face as they shake. The soldier on the right attempting to grab the youngest boy is stopped by an elderly woman. She grabs the two boys trying to flee out of the house. The soldiers stopping her before she can exit. Grabbing the two children the soldiers shove the elderly woman down. Walking out of the house with the youngest on their shoulder. The older brother struggles in vain to break free of their grip. As they leave the village the boy helplessly watch as his home is being set on fire. The remaining soldiers continue to kill the villagers, plundering the people with their possessions of the land. Homes destroyed by fire and burnt to the ground. Only ashes remain and smoke filling the air.
