Armistice Day



There is a crowd of people at the station, waiting to wave the troops goodbye. The young soldier desperately lean out of windows;  delaying saying that final goodbye to loved ones; family; friends. Children are lifted up to kiss their fathers; their little rosy faces confused by the raw emotion hanging in the air. A few women try standing on something or are held up by the soldiers in the windows; talking close, whispering sweet nothings before kissing husbands and boyfriends for what might be the last time.
