Thousand Souls

A green field, alone he stands, forest boarders ahead of him, not too far, eyes were larking in the shadows of the trees, his eyes are closed, it’s getting cloudy, a storm is approaching, and his stance is a stance of a wolf staring at his next prey.
On the other side of the field, a man is sitting on the edge of a cliff, watching from far what is happening, with one opened eye, observing the fighter in anxiety.

Lightning is getting closer, the thunder is getting louder, he doesn’t remember who he is, he doesn’t remember why he is there, “who am I”, he thought to himself. “Why am I here and what am I doing?” His fingers felt cold, he tried to crack them, his veins in his forearms and fingers were flooding with his warm blood, getting larger and larger, he made a strong fist, then suddenly it happened, he remembered, with the lightning struck close to him, he felt as if it went through his own body, sweat drops upon his forehead, his eyes went numb as if he was blind.

The eyes from the shadows started to move, tens, hundreds, of eyes. The boss, they called him, the man on the cliff, “ahhh, they started to move, can’t wait to see those results he promised, we will start with a thousand souls today.” And he finished that sentence with an ominous smile.

Men, Hundreds, a thousand to be exact, were approaching the field, towards him, forming a huge circle of professional fighters, Knives, Guns, Swards and all kind of weapons the held and pointed it towards him, no emotions they showed, they didn’t talk among themselves, as if they knew that this man cannot be taken lightly, and they were right.

The boss, looking down on his man, thought this is it, I better not close my eyes, and I better not miss it. He didn’t move, not one bit, as close as they got to him, he remained calm, then, one drop of rain reached the bosses cheek, he blinked, and he thought, Fuck.
He opened his eyes and he was shocked to the very core, and shouted “FUCK!!”, “for fucking sakes!” His only eye, let him down, and now it overlooks a thousand soulless bodies, corpses, he had to take care of.
