Summary
The old Sander Driesen could not imagine war. He could not imagine death. He could not imagine this fight lasting longer than a few months, even as the Germans overwhelmed them, even as he loaded a gun with inexperienced, fumbling hands, even as he shot it over and over again, even as he watched men die around him and his city go up in flames. He could not imagine what would come as he walked through rain and mud with the remains of his division west to the IJzer. He could not imagine what would come even after that first true battle, sunk down in trenches for two weeks straight, peppered by machine gun fire and shrapnel, awake for days at a time and walking over, sitting on, tripping over, shitting on corpses–even then. Even then. The mind cannot wrap itself around such horrors. Sometimes, instead, it simply breaks apart.

Summary
My version of a missing cannon scene, we all want to know about....
Hesitant, he slides his fingers under the hoodie, skin against skin, feeling the gentle curves of Sander’s abs, the ripples of his rib cage. The nerve endings at his fingertips send a first jolt up his arm straight to his brain. Lightning explodes behind his closed eyes.

Summary
“Have you ever lost someone suddenly?" he asks.
Isak rubs the ears of the cat, humming. “I guess. In a way.” Then he looks up and says, “Have you?”
Even licks his lips. They taste of salt and the night.
“I guess. In a way.”
*
Death of a former classmate brings Even back to his hometown where he meets a young beekeeper named Isak.

Summary
This is about potential--realized or not--memory, bravery, movies, accidents, and the nature of stories. Also love, because what other kind of story could it be?
