Who: Winston and O'Brien
What: Winston seeks comfort from his friend
Where: O'Brien's place
When: Wednesday evening
World War II had shaken him to the core. It was worse than it had been at home. He could hear the bombs from German air raiders coming down continuously outside. Winston had hidden away in the windowless bathroom with Poe on his shoulder, curled up in the tub with a blanket and some pillows. The man had refused to come out until he was 100% sure the bombs were gone and everything was back to normal.
Since Sunday he'd been having continual nightmares just about every night, leaving him ragged and tired the next morning. Finally he wanted to flee to O'Brien's side and did, walking down the street quickly to the older man's house. He stepped up to the door and paused before knocking.
