An Epilogue To John Steinbeck's 'Elizabeth'
I don't even know what I did to get here, but whatever it was, it must have been bad.
One minute im at home, simply relaxing and BOOM, guards burst in, full armor and weapons ready, pointed right into my face. They started dragging me someplace that I've never seen before, this dense forest. I then probably made the assumption that I must have upset queen elizabeth in some form. And it probably would end up going bad, so I simply just relaxed and let what happened… well happen. We started walking through some woods, pretty calm and peaceful. I saw some deers go by, but my attention went to some other guys. While I didn’t know at the time, these were some criminals who were wanted by yours truly. The guards ended up getting into a fight with them, and I would’ve run away, except one guard was keeping watch on me. After a while, they ended up killing the crooks, and 2 guards wound up dead. Nevertheless, they, and me, kept going. …show more content…
They told me what I did would not be forgiven, and i would be executed. I swallowed and prepared for the worse to come. As I was approaching the city, I started thinking, attempting to think of what I could have done to deserve this punishment. When I reached the town hall, I saw a guillotine set up there, with a basket filled with 4 heads. At this point, I was scared and was trying to hold in my scream, but I couldn’t help
