The Sacrifice (AI experiments)

 Few examples. There is a story to these images... it was evolving, of course, with more and more trials and experiments (and mistakes). 

Yet the main "story" remained the same, as it is set deep inside me and it is also evolving with time. 

 The man agreed to sacrifice himself for the humanity, now he is standing naked, bound to a solid wooden stake, on the top of the pile of wood. His wrists are tied behind his back to the pole, his feet tied together by rope at his ankles, his face mirroring his sadness and lost beliefs. After more than 50 years of life, his handsome, manly face is lit by the last rays of setting sun while the rest of the sky is dark with heavy clouds. A few arrows stick out of his body which were shot at him in the offering ritual by each member of comitee. His whole figure in sight, from head to toes, almost invisibly trembling and glistening with sweat. 

One of the priests holds in his hand a ceremonial large sharp spear, he is prepared to end the spectacle. Another priest is lighting up the pile of wood under the bound man's feet. If the victim is lucky, the arrows will and his life before the flames start licking his legs. Otherwise the priest with the spear will have to do his duty and release the sacrifice.

There is a crowd of people in shabby yet clean clothes, watching the scene from a small distance. It is end of autumn, the unfortunate anniversary of a sad event that plunged humanity into chaos and misery. It starts raining and the raindrops slowly wash down the sweat and blood from the man's dying body. His mind can finally rest and be free.
