55 Word Challenge Submission for Wednesday

Hey, guys. This was my submission for Wednesday's 55 Word Challenge. I would like to congratulate the HMs @j_m_blackman, @Lurchmunster, and @klingorengi. Everyone's stories were fantastic this week. KEEP IT UP!!!!

Here was my picture inspiration from the three given.

 

I watched my family die.
Watched them fall at the hands of the metal beasts ravaging their precious land.
I heard them cry out in terror and pain, saw them reaching for me in anguish.

Calling for me. Pleading for help.
But I did not save them.
No.
I ran.
Like a coward.....I ran.
