[ WP ] So often in the darkness I find the greatest light .

The Great War ended over ten years ago, but for us, it might as well have ended yesterday. Buildings were still in rubble, craters pitted the roads, and the sky was a perpetual somber grey. Abandoned vehicles burned to bare metal, ditched years ago, were nothing but instruments for the cursing wind now. 
 
 Millions died in the war. Millions more died after. Disease, famine, despair. The daily challenges to those of us unlucky enough to still be alive. 
 
 People will wonder for years why we did what we did. Truth be told, anything was better than this. It is often said you find the greatest light in the darkness, but, when the night has lasted so long, even the dimmest light can be blinding.
