In 1914‚ during the Second World War‚ soldiers were dying like flies with massive numbers of dead at over 10 million.

There are certainly worse things that he could have done to Jorgenson though. 3. The ending of the story is very

I have two paths‚ two choices‚ stay with the darkness of the stone or turn away and free myself from the battle
