The ground shook.
And-
Half of the stalls collapsed.
"What the hell!" I yelled.
Dust, debris… and black?
'Soldiers?'
The soldiers were back?
My breathing increased. My heart raced.
This was bad.
Wasn't it going to take them at least a few days more?
But I didn't have time to worry about that.
They were here, and they were right there.
Smoke- the smell of burning. If I didn't act now, all this would just go to waste.
They'd worked so hard to rebuild- so hard….
I had to make a decision and I had to make it now.
'Damn!' I ran. I ran straight for them. "Anyone who doesn't want to fight, just get the hell out of here!" I screamed and ran hard.
My stomach also rumbled.
Yeah, I shouldn't have eaten that stick of meat.
Why the hell didn't I bring my sword?
Slash!
