under heavy fire, with chaos as my companion, i cling to the memory of my typewriter back home, a relic separate from this turmoil, where slip by the initial directives of warfare, i'd take up from scratch, crafting tales of valor and unity. this machine, an extension of my thoughts, allows me to draft missives of hope, a direct counter to the desolation surrounding us, teaching us that even in the midst of battle, we can carve out islands of serenity, separate from the chaos, if only on paper.
