If I Was There

My family is a family who has recently produced may great knights. We are known for that. One day we got a letter from the Pope Urban 2. He has offered us a spot in the crusade against the Muslims. They said that many people have already signed up for this war. My family has only mu uncle left. He is too old to fight, so that leaves it up to me. I don't know because I could be killed on an instant.
 I know that Palestine is a very dry and barren land so I could not be ready for this kind of challenge. They say that I could see more than my house and the land around it. I don't think I really want to because my uncle could get sick while I'm gone. I could be hit with the Black Death while out.

I have been running from the steward and now I don't know if I can go any farther. I have come to a town that has probably been wiped out because of the Plague. This has really given me the chills. There is a man who has been hung. Maybe for treason, for lying or even theft. This makes me sad. What if they do this to me, if they find me. His eyes are the out of his head. He has skin off of his body. I am terrified. I keep walking. I come to a church that has decayed over time.
 I think I may have heard some singing from the inside, but I'm not sure. I hear it again. Maybe it's an angel from above trying to tell me that my time has come to an end. I sneak quietly inside. I see a man the size of a pumpkin. He may have heard me. He turns around and spots me. He has a dagger by his side and grabs at it. He asks what I was doing there. He sizes me up and laughs. The way I look is amusing to him.
