David's Real Goliath

Names and Naming,  Anadiplosis,  Rhetorical Question 

The bird, Providence, flew down to the rescue, only to realize he'd come too late.  He heard the cry from David, the doe, as she lamented in her last breath of life "Why am I so foolish?", and then she was gone.

 Just moments before, Providence had been flying over the sea when she'd spotted a crew of sailors heading toward the cliff.  On the cliff stood David, Providence's friend since birth.  Even as a child, Providence had kept a close eye on David, who had always been courageous as she'd been forced to stand up for herself at an early age.  At an early age her parents had been killed by the Goliath's of the forest- the hunters in whom existed no mercy.  No mercy indeed, for David herself had been terribly injured as she stood up to them being left alone, completely blinded in one eye.

It was for this reason that David was at the cliff that evening with her good eye on the lookout for those Goliath's of the forests; and facing toward the sea, consequently, her blinded eye.  Little did she know, her lack of caution toward the sea, a beauty she'd thought of as being so harmless and pure, would be her doom.  All her life she'd stood up to the Goliath's of the forest, only to realize too late the more treacherous fate was that of the sea- to which she'd kept a blind eye.
