When he was twenty-five, he took a trip on the open seas to deliver goods to Flanders and England. Unfortunately, pirates attacked his ship, the Bechalla, and sunk it, even as many sailors drowned. Columbus was lucky to grasp onto a piece of the wreckage, and as an excellent swimmer, he made it to shore on a beach in Portugal. He…

I flip back to where I started and I hand Helen the parson's diary. She sits down next to me to read and I become very aware of her presence. It feels as though my little corner of Cold Book Storage just got a bit warmer. I steal a sideways glance at her under the guise of pointing out a good place for her to start. I lean closer, then I move back. Probably safer for me if she wasn’t sitting here, but I don't dare ask her to get up and sit somewhere else. I'm aware of her next to me,…

would spread disease and inevitably infect hundreds of soldiers for months. Lice would also spread disease and would often live in the hair follicles of soldiers and rats. Weather was terrible, especially during the winter of 1916- 1917 in France and Flanders because it would have been very cold for the soldiers. When it rained, the water would flood the trenches, sometimes the water was waist high, forcing…

introduction to GM, circling them like a vulture with a powerful manège sequence and guiding her legs over GM’s head to entice him. He triggers the slippery slope of events, and yanks and bribes Des Grieux away from Manon. GM instead intimidates Manon (Flanders); she courus backwards away from him. Yet he unleashes her sensuality; she learns to tease and lean into him. Once aware of her power and wealth, it is harder for Manon to abandon prostitution in favour of…

Change into veteran soldiers of war with no more foolish thoughts of patriotic bravery. How can they have such thoughts they ask since their former innocence no longer exists and now these words have no meaning if they ever did. The psychological condition of the men preparing for the next battle is made the more real when visiting…

This is the apartment where Geli was…
