Everything for Nothing

They'd given it all. Everything they'd had, everything they saved, everything they earned. The people they loved and the people they protected. Their lives, their dreams, their futures.

All traded for a big, fat, Nothing. But it was a Nothing of the sweetest kind. For treacherous times – times of war and hate and bloodshed – had ceased, leaving Nothing.

Victory is always empty.
