RE: Armistice Day 1940, Winona, Minnesota - a short story contest entry
Beautiful story beautifully written! 🙂 I enjoyed it from top to bottom.
What I enjoyed mostly though is this: The events take place on Armistice Day, which was the theme required for the contest, and apparently all reference ends there. But that's so not true! In fact, you manage to talk about armistice and weapons and conflict without actually talking about them. The references are subtly present throughout the whole story. I mean, having the kids play a war game right on the first sentence: Brilliant!
Thank you for this lovely story!
Oh my! (Blushing.) Thank you, @michalis. The contest got me thinking and writing on this real life event, which is so heart-wrenching. I didn't even know about it until I began researching a backstory to write about. Thank you very much for taking the time to read it and comment.
