Prompt: The fire was getting closer. 5-minute writing.

    The fire from the torches was getting closer. The muffled rhythmic thumping getting louder and louder. Will watched from one of the tallest towers. Below, in the courtyard, Sir George was busy ordering the troops around. The king was most likely down there somewhere, planning a defense against the invaders. A cool wind whipped through the window, causing the candle to flicker, casting long shadows against the dark walls. Will was hoping that he would be able to watch the fight from up here.
