If she was a man
Once upon a time
A great war was fought
Huns vs. Hans
Men stolen from thier homes, enlisted they call it
A mans word, a mans place
A woman stood in her fathers place, enlisted in her fathers place
Disgused as a man, trained as a man and fought as a man
She was no man
She was beaten, she was raped and she was hanged
She was a woman impersonating a soldier the penalty
Death
She did it for honor
Where was her honor now? Six feet under?
She fought for her country against the huns and how had her country repaid her?
With death
On the otherside she would have been welcomed with open arms not shamed not hanged
She thought bitterly if she was a man there would be no noose
Darkness
