Many a heartbroken woman has walked the widows walk. Homes built along the shoreline with rooftop balconies to lend unimpeded views of the sea. Nicknamed "widows walks" for obvious reasons. Closure is not readily available to the survivors of the victims lost at sea. Even harder if it is a mate or worse, one's child.
You have set of mood of anticipation that changed to grief and despair. You have done a beautiful job.
Very descriptive, vivid and moving. Infused with many egyptian terms but not sounding clich'e. Nicely done. Keep Writing. InkWellspring66 @writing.com.

A dark horse carries the message. Starvation percieved through the recoiling of onlookers. Intelligent, dark. and grotesquely eloquent. I usually prefer to be engrossed in comedic or romantic fare and the ocassional venture into the dark side is a timid attempt on my part . There I usually read of death in a user-friendly format . No user-friendly format here. It is first person and desolate and there is no comfort in sight. Although not mentioned , I envision the clay colored masses, rough-hewn graves, and the fragile survivors clinging nearby. Doctors, nurses, journalists self-protecting or now de-sensitized seem callous and cold and almost a plague in themselves. This work left me breathless. I bow to the dark rider that ruled your pen.
