Murder. That was the only word that ran through Juvie’s mind as he was placed in handcuffs. He didn’t know right away who his first target would be, but he had a good idea who he wanted to knock off first. Oriana had crossed the line with him one too many times, and he could only hope that her scheming ways wouldn’t fall through. He had better things to worry about. That better thing being Solai.Honestly fed up at this point with Juvie’s shenanigans, Solai was ready to call whatever they had going on quits. The last thing she wanted to be doing was looking dumb for a guy who didn’t appreciate, nor respect her. While Juvie was so concerned with catching up to whoever was trying to take him down, Solai occupies her time with a more than qualified man from her past who was about to give young Juvie a run for his money and do what he couldn’t do…keep it one hundred.The young couple you have grown to love are fighting their own battles as well.

It was one attack among so many, yet it was experience of so many. The attack on Osowiec in Poland. In the mud and bitter cold of his trench, the author experiences the pain, the hope, the joy, the boredom, the fear and the stinging wound of absences.In his journey from novice soldier and his "disbelief that anyone could actually run out into the bullets on an attack", to steely veteran, "You just have to survive that first jump and you're away", the author has also used the endless hours spent waiting for attacks or to attack, to write a meditative text, dwelling on his feelings without shame; "We and death are now on intimate terms with one another… And from the depths of our souls, lonely, we spoke to him... waves of loneliness washed over me", he writes, "many of us silently bade a painful farewell in our hearts to our dear comrades. But… we had to close the ring around our inner selves firmly, with determined decisiveness. Up ahead, your head, your heart, the whole man would be needed; you couldn't leave even one small piece of yourself behind."The author spoke for himself and for generations on all sides of the conflict when he said of his dead comrades after the battle, "They, the chosen ones, have paid the price for us, and we must think of them with profound respect."
