Something small I have been thinking about and this is one of the two shots that I'll upload today.
November Eleventh. The End of the War to End All Wars.
Small spoiler, Afraid To Shoot Strangers.
Kerlongsj knew that he had seen things in his life. And there was a lot of crazy shit that one couldn't explain without turning insane. He had seen the fights before and while around, he was sure that he had traveled in ways that he couldn't explain.
But this had to beat everything.
This… this world,… This universe, this was just insane.
The name of it, AU, alternative Universe. One term for that. He had been traveling around and he was sure this world was marked by war.
And it had spilled over to the other war. And hence to his world.
He had been around this place and seen the world turned into a hellish landscape where they fought and wanted to destroy.
This kingdom wasn't worth its name. Even so, Kerlongsj wondered. How would this world turn into what it was now?
From the way they dressed to the way, the way they just lived. So when he was taken out, he fell in his sleep again. With his brain going in overdrive, the music played. He had heard the bits before.
"Unlike what came before, the future of warfare had dawned." That was a long while ago. He began to think of it and felt his body moving while he wasn't in control. He tried to open his eyes yet with the energy of his body had left.
He couldn't move or think. Yet that music is what kept him conscious. The music of it and the way that it had resonated with this place.
"And as the end draws near, November dawn, with loses so severe, cease-fire, the forces withdrawn."
Maybe this AU should pick up from his place as it was clear they only saw the glorification of war and the prestige it brought. Maybe that was why the Brits weren't so eager to go to war after World War One. They had seen what it all brought and what it did on the world.
For him, it was also important given that it was his home where it all took place.
On his place, he wasn't sure if it would work for him.
He was sure that this world should learn that the loses had grown so severe. They had withdrawn from earth.
But that was a victory with one heavy price. Maybe this time, they would have The End of the War to End All Wars.
Just a dream of his.
And he wanted to go home to his fields.
Yeah, I have been on something. For the coming week, we'll see how it goes. And I also got a song I want. Not as opening but as something else.
In the dark, they'll seek to hide.
Saluut.
