WT 36 - Hopelessness

The hopeless men are making a commotion in the tense moment of unease. They muttered prayers and hoped for the well being of their family. I looked up to the sky, and sought to view the hope the others saw. I only saw an endless shade of blue. Though the sky was darkenning early this day... Many of the men dead, and the seige is close to its end. I can hear the faint roar of catapults beginning their launch in the distance. An endless army await the falling of our blood on the cold stone we will attempt to defend. There's nothing that will stop them now, not all the gods and godesses existant or not can help us now.

I gasped and stifled my sobs. The three men insulted my five-year-old face some more and departed laughing, their words every bit as stinging as their blows.
I can't do anything to fight back! I can't do anything!
The alley contained no one but me; I was the only one left.
This feeling... is this hopelessness?
As I cried in supreme shadow, a feeling welled up in me, a feeling unlike any other. It was a feeling of utter emptiness and sorrow. It was a feeling of the ever-consuming and absolute darkness, where the brightest light was snuffed out, shattered, ruined. I was left utterly devasated and broken. At that point and on for an eternity of eternities, death and misery were one and the same.

Quickie.

I think the first one ment a siege, which UTM orc walls can be used along with other stuff..

Well heres my entry.. i didnt try to hard but i can go back and change it if i need/want to

btw i was thinkin of doing something with a mountain but i meh'd it

Men dead doesnt mean zombies :P, Also I guess Few walls,Catapults and doodads are needed around. On a side note, the Atomosphere really needs a change (either that or take better screenshots).

You don't have to follow those guidelines. It's there as an example/backround of the topic.

Yeah I know, Besides I'm only saying that zombies don't suite the background..

Also I'm not participating, no time..

Too bad I had no time this week, would have made something else than a crappy 7 minutes and 12 seconds work. =/

cool idea for hopelessness 2-p, too bad you didn't have time to detail it:(

Focusing on... what? Atmosphere? Atmosphere is part of terraining, and is a very important skill to have. Units, depending on how they're used, add to this atmosphere.

@reflection: You should take some close up shots of the human people as well. And shouldn't they be facing opposite the way they are? In my opinion, the fog could be darker, like in Evading-Self's first screen, which I far prefer over the second one. Also... I do think there's a bit too many zombies.

School?

I can relate - school has been sucking up my time as well.

But IMO, the most effective of the lot (of few that were posted )
