Brigits Flame, wk 3, Apr. Depaysement prompt. 1007 wds, violence, war, warning

I had such a hard time with this one because I had too much to drawn on.  I wrote a very personal piece and then edited it out of existence. This is painful too but not my experience and not as fraught, for me at least, with layers of pretext.  I hope it stands on it's own. I hope it is respectful of those who have lived through something like this.

And yes, it does accompany the week one post I wrote.
