LOGINThe pack house was full of laughter that night.That's been filled with laughter for months, even after.Yes, it has been months since the war ended, and though scars still lined the land, and the hearts of those who fought, there was peace now. True peace.A sort of peace that no one ever expected.

Giovanni:I’d been here so long, I’d stopped counting the hours.Because I knew that it's been more than days.Though I did not know how many, I knew that they were enjoying this. Each and every one of them saw it as their own victory. And though I did not want to admit it, I knew that it was my los
Delilah:Light burned behind my eyelids, and the first thing I felt was pain.There was a pain that I could not describe, and though I've been hearing everything that's been said throughout the past week, I couldn't respond.The dull, heavy ache in my chest. My shoulder. My ribs. Everything just see
