Description Boom!
The drums echo through the streets
Boom! Boom!
Fresh blood lines the sidewalks
Boom!
Cheers, cries, and battle calls
Boom! Boom!

But they’re never coming home…

Boom!
The drums echo through the streets
Boom! Boom!
Shouts of “Glory!” resonate
Boom!
Anticipation lights their faces
Boom! Boom!

But they’re never coming home…

Boom!
The drums echo through the trees
Boom! Boom!
The city vanishes behind them
Boom!
The scent of blood is still exciting
Boom! Boom!

But they’re never coming home…

Boom!
The drums echo through the trees
Boom! Boom!
The taste of courage keeps them strong
Boom!
Only one more day to go
Boom! Boom!

And they think they’re going home…

A good one. The repetition gives it an inexorable feel - there's now ay to avoid what's coming there will simply be... and then the booms come in.

Comparing this to Drive and Adversor, it seems like comparing the first part with Hecate in Macbeth to the last ones.

It's great. Especially with the story-snippet.

I've reread it several times now and it really touches me; really stirs up emotion. I try to imagine the sounds and visuals as I read it.

Thank you. =]
I wrote it in German class while listening to...um...A famous song with no lyrics written by a French guy. Xb
I ended up with several letters and several different stories, but Thomas was my favorite.
