This is a story that has been gestiating for a long time.

I based a little of the story based on a friend that has had a hard road, but always managed to get back up again.

This story is an experiment for me since it involves second person POV and the main character suffers from synesthesia.

I must have been watching a lot of the history channel.

My next assigned story is also a strange war story titled “Recovery” that involves the Pamir Mountains. This mountain range is known to have one of the most complex series of natural deep caves known. There’s plenty of initial details here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamir_Mountains

The theme of the anthology is the end of the world in 2012 AD. I think I have a fun way to do it. Here is a hint: it was inspired by the famous Tree Bark Man.

I’ve had this story in my seed folder for two years or more.
