It's weird, I learned about WWII from my parents when I was a kid, learned the battles, the body counts, learned all about the Blitz. But it never really seemed real. It was, of course, a good four hundred years past, and our conflicts are a bit larger in scale between Earth, Mars, and the Belt, but there's a difference between reading statistics off a page and feeling the ground shake under your feet when a bomb hits the next block over. I didn't not respect the men and women who lived through this or died fighting, not before this, but I have a greater appreciation for what they went through now, and I've only been clearing rubble for about eight hours now.
I did earn an extra milk ticket from a man who was glad for the help, if anyone from Hotel would like it, particularly the children.
