I couldn’t escape. The straw-haired men chased us to the edge of the forest, and trapped us there. Their horses were too fast. Something hit me before I could attack.
Now I wake, and curse them again. I feel cooling flesh beneath me, but it won’t cool for long. The fire is coming nearer: I can hear the crackling, I can smell the stench. The weight of other bodies presses on me, and dark fluid is dripping into my eyes. But when the fire approaches, I will burst out, driven by heat and agony. I alone may escape the slaughter.
