Of Vikings and the World

 This week's prompt: Lightning

Of Vikings and the World

Windrider

He swung the hammer. Blood splattered on the walls.

He had to get away. And fast.

With a feral snarl, he swung the hammer again. He broke through the wooden door and ran as fast as he could.

In this room, many times he had wished to die. He had lost him, what else did he have to live for?

Yet, he had to live.

The guards were distracted. The hammer was in his reach. He took it and swung. It was that or rot in this hellhole.

A blue flash lit the skies. Thunder roared.

And Skjaldr Thorvaldson ran.
