Writing home
Who: Anton ot anyone
Where: Jardin du Luxembourg
When: May 07, 1941
Having secured a few days furlough for a job-well-done, Anton dressed in plain clothes and looked for a quiet place to enjoy the day. He settled on the Jardin du Luxembourg, where the flowers were in bloom and the grass was green and lush. A perfect place to unwind and enjoy the day. He'd brought a bit of lunch with him, and some writing supplies and postcards he'd picked up in the city. While eating his sandwiches, he'd write a few notes on the back of them to send home.
He unwrapped his first sandwich, and chose a postcard he'd picked up on his visit to the Eiffel tower. He chewed thoughtfully on the ham-and-cheese while pondering who would like this card best. Maybe his sister, though he had to admit to himself that he didn't much know her tastes in things. Growing up, he hadn't had much time for the little-tag-along. He vowed that if they both survived this war, he would be a better brother and spend more time with her.
Dear Hannah, he wrote. Paris is interesting. Food is okay, language is dreadfully hard. He was studying the language, and making a bit of progress - but communication was still difficult at best. Hope you are well and happy. Love from your brother Anton.
He eyed the card critically, wondering if he should have written more.
