In my dreams, I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield. — Publilius Syrus
I’m currently recovering (Please let me be recovering- I am soooo done with this) from Covid. Being single and sick is not great. At one point I got up stood in the kitchen wanting soup. Alas, there was no one around to make soup for me and I lacked the energy to open the can and heat it up. I had a wee cry, ate a cracker and then went back to bed. Recovery has been a battle.
The majority of us will never serve in the military. But we each face our own battles. Be they health, dealing with small children, work, discrimination, or relationships.
What battles is your character fighting? Have there been battles in the past that they survived, but that left them scarred? Who were their sisters/brothers in arms? Who was on the other side?
