WARNING SIGNS
Sadistic winds blow in from the east, as dark 
clouds of a storm from the west cascade over a
range of mountains, spilling down into an
unsuspecting valley.
Animals and fools run up into the valley attempting 
to be protected from the winds, just to be 
swallowed whole by the torrential waves of 
madness being spewed forth from the jaws of
an unforgiving wickedness.
 
Drool puddles and oozes in strings from the
gaping muzzle of death, godless hunger stalks
this freshly created wasteland.
Like survivors of a shipwreck tragedy, wide
eyed minute vermin stagger out from their
protective lairs.
Shattered leafless trees bow down, weeping at 
their loss.
Boulders and cliff bands crack and groan in 
protest of the treatment they have been forced to
endure.
 
Ever vigilant, the executioner of the ignorant
keeps a wary eye on this domain, ever ready to
unleash its own sense of education on the
brainless mass below.
They need to learn.
They need to know.
This is merely a warning, life is not to be taken
for granted.
