Your potent pen portrays the cold heart-rending effects of war with vivid emotion and imagery.. "alone in the cold he stared at the stars" - wow! deeply haunting and moving! Congratulations, Krish, for your fine win in Eve's contest.. ~Susan

Susan, thank you for support and your kind words. I am a pacifist and I cannot believe that in this so called modern civilised world people think it is alright to kill another person in the name of war!! we need a new organisation to replace UNO that is independent! Hope the future that follows us is a better place!
