Writing Prompt for July 4, 2023
Atop the barrow he stood
Looking down at the creature within
A thing of bones and sinews and several heads
Gathered around a central mass with no heart
With a casual flick of his fingers "Tiene"
Flames licked the creature till it crisped.
A turn of his lips
A look of disgust and a curse.
"You can't even die properly."
And he wondered how such a thing
Could ever be.
