  • And who would want to become a King or a leader?
    The entire world is in disarray.
    A shrouded pawn and a decapitated pawn look on as a pawn emerges from a stone shell and small, whole, unfettered pawn looks on.

    All that is offered with an engraved form of the King's crown.
    It is precariously above a mass of fragments including an arrow to the heart of the matter.

    The clouds have turned to stone as a reminder of Bak's reference to the smoke of the crematorium that turned to stone or the destruction of the atmosphere and the planet.

    Who would want to a be a King?
