Pov Tom - 1942

I feel like thousands of years have passed since World War II began. I've seen compatriots and close friends die at the hands of the Nazis. I can't remember the last time I breathed clean air, not this stuff that smells of gunpowder, the metallic smell of blood, and coal. Will I make it out of this horrible place alive? I don't know, but I'm not a coward who would back down.

I need to think of something, and it has to be quick, because before we know it we'll be bombarded by those bastards. ―My general... A boy around 16 or 18 years old takes me out of my thoughts.

He is wearing makeup... I raise my eyebrow when he mentions the last thing ―Let him in....* I reply, gesturing for him to enter. The trembling boy knocks on the door, then two of my soldiers enter, taking the boy by the arms. He has long hair, dark eyeshadow and... does it look like me or does he have fake eyelashes? His clothes are completely black and strange. He wears jewelry, rings, too many. Is he married to 5 women?** I approach. Looking into his eyes* "What's your name, kid?" I asked, smiling kindly "Bill... Bill Beauchamp..." The young man answers. His accent is unmistakable. "He's German." ―Interesting...I answer
