Names Carved Into Granite

Civilians used as pawns in a demon's power games.
Buildings crumble, planes fall, blown out of
the sky. Shrapnel from a car bomb takes the lives of all who were near.
Terror tactics designed to spread disorder and fear.

who instead kill unconnected innocents. To the level of the

Hatred that erases sense fuels rivalry into an escape of
atrocity after atrocity. Without an end.

carved into granite are revealed as the snow is brushed away.
Fingertips trace across them. Memories are all that remain.
