The womens raid


I am one of the poor "fish women" as they would call us. Everyday I wake up and go cut fish all day long to try support my children. All i can afford to feed them is bread and just yesterday the bread prices got raised so i can only afford one loaf of bread per month.

After we found out they raised the prices this didn't only bring rage to me but all of the poor men and women. Here the king and queen are sitting there probably eating and we are starving just so we can try feed are kids a little bit a day. We are all very lucky if we even get to eat a little bread each day. The days went on and rage kept boiling me and the women were starting to come up with a plan to set up a protest outside the palace and demand what we want.

Soon there were hundreds of people standing with us outside the gate and we were determined to make sure the king knew what we wanted and that we got what we wanted. 2 days pasted by and we knew it was time to make our move because we knew that the king would sit in there for days. So we did it... we burst threw those gates with knives, guns, anything we had and we killed anyone that got in our way. Women were decapitating the guards and putting their heads on spears. But the guards weren't enough we wanted the queen. She walks around with all her fancy stuff on and she eats her food and were here starving and cold! They have no respect for us so its time to get what we deserve. So we rampaged through the house hunting, women went in her room tore up everything they were yelling out I want her head, I want her leg, I want her arm ext... they want to literally tear her apart. We found her in the kings room hiding behind the king and we demanded that he give us what we want and deserve. The next day he was on a carriage to Paris and we had all the flour we needed. We finally got some respect.
