Frantic screams, echoes in the burning village.
Smoke, all over the place.
It contaminated the air around the village.
Restricting their breathing, and sight.
It grew bigger.
Bigger, and bigger,
And even more bigger.
It was blinding, the flames were too bright.
Deafening, the screams getting louder.
Monsters, trampling over those that fell.
Every man for themselves, they said.
Kill, or be killed, he said.
Dog eat dog, she said.
For a good cause, I thought.
Who knew, that it would turn out like this.
Who knew, that such a, 'peaceful', village would start to burn overnight.
Who would've thought, that I'd, come back?
Certainly not them.
And most definitely, not her.
Satisfying, is it not?
Their howls of pain, cries for forgiveness, were like symphonies.
Exploding in my ears, like a maddening tune.
Their skin, scorched, burnt, and in tangles, excites me.
Their desperate tries, to escape the burning heat, but they couldn't.
All of it, every, little, bits.
Swallowed, by the fire.
In the deepest, darkest, crevasses of the night, I knew, the divine beings above are mad.
And probably quite terrified,
But it's fair, isn't it?
They, wanted a sacrifice.
They, wanted someone to take the blame.
They, wanted a defenseless, blind boy.
They, wanted a pathetic, naïve boy that was too trusting for his own good.
They, wanted, blood.
And for that,
They needed a villain.
A villain, that no one knew, and no one wanted.
They didn't give a me a chance to be one.
"So why go back on your words now, Alfie?"
