(Big brother? XD)
The boy, was overcome. He lay, unmoving, beneath the grips of corpses. He no longer fought, as he was... Torn. They'd bitten him many times, many places near arteries. He lay in a puddle of his own blood, unconscious. The beasts devoured him, leaving bite marks everywhere. If help didn't arrive soon, his fate was sealed.
For him, time seemed to slow. A cruel curtsey that the world allowed as you died. He could swear, he was sitting on his window sill. Not at the Pit, but at home. Sweet scents of food wafted upstairs from the kitchen, where his mother and sisters prepared dinner. His father was in his workshop, building him a model. It was of the Colosseum. He'd loved Greek and Roman mythology, so his father thought it perfect. It even had a little chamber that opened to show gladiators preparing for a bloody duel. It also had openings on the side, where little models of men barring armor and swords could enter. Little, intricate models of the crowds were all posed in looks of ecstasy. Men stood, cheering. Other bore flags with different symbols. Children stood, clapping. Even vendors were places among the stands.
Only, his father hadn't finished.
That day, Andrio's birthday,
was the day that marked the collapse. He'd lost his entire family to this out break that day.
And now, he'd join them the same way.
