That’s when they ran!

Only when they saw it

They didn’t know what it was

All they knew was to run

From the danger they didn’t know.

Their cries filled the air.

“Save your skins!

The one on the highest pillar yelled out.

“The fire in your eyes, is not burning enough,

it’s rather consuming you all,

you bloody sinners,…

His words burnt like acid

And quickly dissolved onto their skins.

“What are you all looking at, I said run!

He angrily pointed toward them, until there was no more of him.

He had fallen off from his pillar, to his own demise.

Like a rock thrown into the ocean, their screams quieted.

Their voices no more.

This was the first sign.

But they didn’t know

They knew nothing

Absolutely…

Nothing at all.
