Bruno's deployment to the Bosnian city of Sarajevo was, in all honesty, short-lived. The war between Bulgaria and its neighbors was simply not destined to last long. Within another month, it was over, and the powers of the world incorrectly assumed that the threat of a Great War had been completely averted.
But Bruno knew better. Even so, when he returned home, he was not in a jovial mood, nor did he lie to Heidi and tell her that everything would eventually be alright. He merely told her the truth: peace would last only a bit longer before the world burned itself in global conflict.
Heidi, of course, knew this was true; she was intelligent enough to see what the world was quickly becoming and also trusted her husband beyond measure. If he said a major war was coming, then that was unquestionable.
So it is that time again.... I have just spent the better half of five hours dealing with friends, family, and acquaintances all freaking out about the ongoing election. Most of which were complaining to me about choosing not to vote... anyway, among the... Chaos, I was only able to get one chapter done today, and I am way too exhausted to write another. Tomorrow, if the circumstances are ideal I will make up for this failure on my part with an additional chapter. I honestly didn't think everyone would make such a big deal about my choosing not to cast a vote this year. I really really hate election years...
