Legion

Many, many, many. Sail boat on the horizon

People gone, pigs are snorting. Blazing sun.

Rocks, stones, twigs, shells. Rough waves.

Fishes swimming. Throwing rocks. Killing fish. Boat

Fish tastes good. Want some more. Boat

Rocks, smashing, splashing, whacking. Strong wind

Dull sounds, cracking sounds, sharp sounds. Splashing. Wave over legs.

Running, jumping, leaping. Hide. Boat is nearer.

Where to go? Cave. Cliffs. People. Pigs.

Wind, waves, rain, dark clouds, Boat.

Hearing grunting, shouting, screeching, snorting.

Looking around at the tops of the cliffs. People. Pigs. Fish. Waves. Boat.

Oars moving. Battling wind and waves. Men.

My place, my cave, my stones, my head, my fish. Men.

Screeching, grunting, cowering, pointing, thundering. Rain

No, they will not command. They cannot command. I will fight. Hand, nails. Stone.

Fight, kick, punch, shout, curse. Sun.

Boat. Waves. Oars. Men

Stone. Whack. Splash. Shouts

Men. Water. Running.

Caves. Dark. Hide. Stones

Crunching, grunting, shouting, running. Feet

Curses, Stones, God?

God? Fierce. Destroy. Kill.

Faces swirling. Stones flying. Arms flinging. Sky.

Clouds. Rain, wind. Face. Hair

No. Turn. Twist. Arms. Strong men.

Blazing Sun. Son. God. Squirm. Pigs.

Laugh, cower, stones. Rolling. Pigs

Striking, flailing. Arguing. Cursing. Shouting. Gnawing. Biting. Son.

Floating. Sky. Wind. Waves. Grass. Mud. Pigs.

Pigs. Grunting. Running. Squeeking. Charging.

Waves, Sea, Water, Fish.

Quiet. Eery. Calm. Still

Son. Glory. Free.
