The Village Green Preservation Society - May Song Story - May 17th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

This story was prompted by 'Eye of the Storm' by the Cruxshadows. It didn't quite go the way I expected, but it still fits the prompt I think. Also, the story I wrote put me in mind of the 'Village Green Preservation Society' by the Kinks.

~I believe in what I fight for
And I have paid for it with pain
I am here because my contributions
May help turn this fate away
And all who stood by and did nothing
Who are they to criticise?
The sacrifices of others
Our blood has bought their lives~

Wow! What an inspiration from that photo. Loved title, the story and especially the ending. Nice realization for Illya, and his resolution to the problem.

Thanks again cuz!

When a went through those weeks of writer's block a few months ago, who would have thought I could write a 2000+ word story which had the 3 very different prompts of The Cruxshadows, The Kinks, and that amazing photo?
