Saved

And the words came again.
Three days of war and I
thought I was going to die.
Again.
But the words came.
I was sitting by the window
and they came,
just like that.
And I knew I was
going to live.
I had been saved.
Saved by words.

The phrase And the words came again is similar to "And the minions came today", Kamila Shamsies Broken verses. Though the content is entirely different. By minions she means servants in the book, though in the begining i.e. before the story I think she does mean typed words. This isn't inspired from her, but I just thought the phrase may have been subconsicously borrowed.
