Interlude #2 – When We All Die (by Nanuk)
Summary and Explanation: I never thought I would write a WHN story for “Interlude”, and I haven’t. Not really. What happened is that I could not not write, and I guess this is what came out of it. These are vignettes that give little glimpses into Adam’s life during the war, some are scenes that may have taken place during “Interlude”, as well as some that happen “after”. I’m not sure I ever find the time to write enough scenes to make this into “a real story” at one time, yet here they are, in no particular chronological order, just so I have them all in one place. One never knows what may happen.
