The MVP in any city( article contest submission)
My name is not of consequence and shall not be remembered. Only the name of my Lord BigCwh will be remembered and spread throughout the land. Only my actions will be remembered in the accomplishment and prestige I bring to my noble.For I am a worker in this kingdom of Haypi a strenuous and sometimes short life in these harsh times. Three different armies raided our city just last nite alone. I have begun sleeping in the cranny as of late as it the only place untouched and seemingly safe. It's as if they don't sleep sometimes coming all hours of the night and day. Merciless as they carry all they can of our resource and food stores that we couldn't keep in the already cramped cranny.
Men like myself run this city. We do everything here from tending the fields to carrying goods to market. Some us toil in the mines, some the quarry and if were lucky we can live in the woods chopping for the lumber mill. But our city is well endowed and prosperous with the recent acquisition of the forts by the lords army we find gold rushing in to greet us. Most is used at market or in tech center for improving our lives sharpening our mens blades and improving our working conditions allowing us to work harder, faster to the good of the lord.In fact that's the only thing we don't do here is work in the tech center. If there is no supply of workers the city grinds to a halt. More men come in every day to find work in town which I think is fine as there never seems to be enough of us with the city under perpetual construction. The main job a man like me can expect is a soldier in the army. Sometimes every able man is drafted to start training leaving the city empty.Training is hard, for every 4 men that go to train only one usually makes it to become a member of the Calvary.Especially so for the catapult division. A tough breed indeed. But I may only dream to be of use on the battle field, one day I'm sure but for now a shadow approaches the alarm bell chimes in the tower and we prepare for an attack. Guess I'll grab a shovel and start digging traps, such is life for me.Not the most glorious of lives but I'm Haypi none the less.
