ELECTION (5-minute Freewrite)

a 5-minute Freewrite by A.E. Jackson

The line of women dressed in sheer white veil dresses was led by a red robed figure at one end of the long rope.

From her position, the young blonde could see half a dozen girls ahead of her. Each bound to the line just as she was. How many trod behind her was anyone's guess.

The faceless assembled throng, all dressed in heavy black robes, which encircled the dancing fire ring were silent and observant.

She chose to be among the elevated. Now it was up to them to decide who would pass on.

A low gong echoed through the chamber as the chain of girls closed their loop around the fire.

The red robed figure walked behind each girl. Their dresses fluttered in the air shifted by the heavy red robe.

A heavy wooden mallet raised high. The dark stain of years dropped quickly onto the exposed head of one girl who crumpled. Her bright white dress spattered with blood.

The others cheered, and embraced the Elected who were now a part of their sisterhood.
