Fire, fire, fire!! Was that all these people talked about? Hans reclined as best he could in his seat, and flicked slightly at the cigarette tin in his breast pocket. He had a feeling it was going to be a long war.
Hendrik closed his eyes and thought back to a simpler time. One with less fire, perhaps. One without the looming power always hovering over the people's heads. Perhaps one without government. One where adults were still being bested by bare-footed, palm-drinking children who thought the world rode on the back of a turtle. He let out a sigh. He thought about what this war was going to do to him, and he slightly thought of what it'd do to all of the peach-faced babies.
Those poor babies. He opened his eyes to the babies, not much younger than he, and wished for them to lose their shoes and socks, and dip their hands into a river. For the Fuhrer's sake, this is all just one big miscommunication. He closed his eyes, the booms rattling his cage like a sick zoo animal. He swore this was a dream. Really, he hoped it was. Everything would be fine, no one would have to die and it would be a miracle.
