Flash Fiction: Protectors of Faith

Irrlicht ©Yana Wernicke

By Claire Blaha

Bowed heads

Dots across a black board

Like a board game

They are all pieces

Pawns protecting

Forming a wall

Shoulder to shoulder

They stand for their faith

The future is before them

A challenge presented

They will practice

They will prepare

For what is unknown

But is inevitable

Heads bowed

There is a goal to be accomplished
