Interregnum
It has been eight years since the interregnum began. I was just a child then, but no one is a child now. We divulged into chaos sooner than anyone might have imagined. The first genocide was of innocence. Then, of faith. Now, of hope. The Freedom Fighters won, but there is no freedom. I know I will die tomorrow. I’ve seen the crows; heard the howls. They are coming for me. But before I go, there’s one last thing I must do. Under the light of the glistening moon, I trek to the Killing Wall. I carve one word: Remember.
