Olivia’s+Assyrian+Attack

Olivia Brumana Period 3 & 4

//Crash, bang, AHHHHHH!// My day wasn’t as great as I wish it could be. My name is Liv and I live in Sumer. My village is being attacked by Assyrians and they have already got my mother and father, they have also gotten the head of our village. I am all alone waiting for my fate. When I was little, people told me stories of these men. The Assyrians were like the dead; they had no feeling of guilt or remorse and were extremely violent. They took over places with a swing of an iron axe. I was scared of these men, but nothing like the type of scared I felt now. It was pure torture knowing that any minute they could find me and kill me with just a stare. “You //go this way I go that was,”// said one of the men in a strange langue. I could her someone coming. Oh how I hope my death wasn’t slow. The man was their leader he was searching around like a mad man which made me realize it was over. I was totally wrong. The man got an arrow in his head which was probably making him crazy. //“Let us get out of here, NO, YES, you are weak for wanting to leave, KILL HIM NOW!”// The strange language came back with an unsettling ending. They killed their leader and then one of the other men in their army. //“Hey did you check in their Tobol?”// Oh No, they’re coming. It wasn’t long before I was in chains. I was actually surprised when they didn’t kill me. //“Son, you will have a wife now. She is smart and if you treat her right then she won’t run away like the women usually do,”// said their new leader in their language. A boy about my age and scared to death was looking at me. A few hours later I was unchained and given a dress with patterns of men killing other men. The boy from earlier came into my room and wrote down a message telling me to change back into my other clothes and run for my life. I understood and did what I was told as soon as he left the room. When I got outside I saw their animals that they rode on and hoped on. As soon as I got the hang of what I was doing I left this odd place and traveled until I was gone. At least I thought I was. Guards captured me and took me to a place that was bad news. Later I was killed and cursed to eternity of wishing different.:(
