Cody+Assyrian+Narrative

Revenge of Ziggy “Just another day, picking corn, throwing it in the basket,” I said to myself wearily. “At least, there was time to play with the other village boys,” I thought happily. Past wrestling competitions have made me strong, while archery competitions have made me accurate with a bow. Years of running in the nearby mountains have made me swift on foot. My father has taught me the right plants to eat and the right water to drink. I Ziggy am the fittest boy in the village.

 Then one day it happened. A ground shaking rumble erupted from outside the city walls, as I raced toward the city gate, I saw THEM. Their shining iron helmets, bronze armor, bronze tipped spears, and iron swords, it was the Assyrians. Then the fateful word;

 “ATTACK”

 Everyone but the soldiers ran screaming for their huts, well everyone but me. I ran home and grabbed my knife, sword, and bow. The bow I slung around my shoulder, the knife I stuffed in my sling, I took the sword in hand and charged into battle. First I climbed onto the outer wall and killed two soldiers who where torturing one of the citizens. Then I viewed the city; the amount of destruction was enormous. Imagine my surprise when I realized that I was the only person who was not dead or captured. Unfortunately one of the Assyrian soldiers spotted me and sounded the alarm. Soon 4 soldiers were racing after me. But, using the ladders the Assyrians used to board our walls, I escaped into the hills outside the city I had known all my life. I ran and ran until I reached a large Acacia forest. While hiding behind a boulder I shot two soldiers with my bow, and defeated the other two with my sword.

I decided to follow the Assyrians back to there land. Once there, I realized that there was a huge forest right outside the city walls. After exploring the forest, I found a huge tree that I built my home in. The only things I do nowadays are carve new weapons and wooden statues, hunt deer, rabbit, and other game, improve my home by making a cot, table and chairs, and shelves and cabinets, and terrorizing the Assyrian people. I plan to do this the rest of my life.
