Beautiful story beautifully written! 🙂 I enjoyed it from top to bottom.

What I enjoyed mostly though is this: The events take place on Armistice Day, which was the theme required for the contest, and apparently all reference ends there. But that's so not true! In fact, you manage to talk about armistice and weapons and conflict without actually talking about them. The references are subtly present throughout the whole story. I mean, having the kids play a war game right on the first sentence: Brilliant!

Thank you for this lovely story!
