unfin, just notes

Alone and feeling empty, without flesh to deflect the icy winds or blood to insulate her being her soul shudders. The realisation yet to set in, having died in battle she wonders why the Valkyries never came, if her bravery was her end why then, was she yet to feel the welcoming hearth in the halls of Valhalla. (part 1 of my first chapter)

possible intro to my dissertation

I feel the cold breath of winter, it blows through me and I can see the frost on the leaves, the morning sun reflect upon the lake, I can still feel the earth crunching beneath my toes, if I can still feel then is death really the end? If I can still see the smoke billowing from my pyre, the bright burning embers illuminating the water around my burning body, then how can death be the finite we believe it to be?
