That was the last thing I remembered of that night before waking up in a partisan camp, in a cot inside a tent.

Just call me whatever you want alright?” I stressed as we walked through the wintery forest, “Ok then, well, how about Michael?

A person needs to think before pointing out everything that is wrong in their eyes. The general response to this is returned. That sounds bad, but it is not necessarily horrible. It is the delivery of the words and not the words themselves that can be an issue. The best response is by rationally explaining the behavior…
