The opening raised just the right amount of curiosity in the reader as to the meaning behind the tolling bells that the reveal at the end was greatly anticipated (and did not disappoint). Your imagery was powerful - and the idea of the clouds being like rotted shrouds was both apt and suitably sepulchral.
