The twins are healthy, and doing well.

Today I got a letter.

I recognize what type of letter it is.

He hadn't even been able to scream. It was too dangerous.

He covered him with a sheet, and then continued moving on, towards the rest of his unit. They needed him now.

 

In a small apartment in England, two babies sat, screaming to the sky.

Their mother finally rocked them back to sleep, and then she continued to stare at the letter.

Finally, she opened it.

That was as far as she got before she laid down on her bed and wept.
