Summary
There was something at the end of a bottle that Will couldn’t quite ever place. He’d tried to mellow it out over the months and the years that he’d relied on the bottle, thought it through and turned it in every direction, but to no avail. It sat at the tip of his tongue and the top of his mouth. There was a metallic scent to it that bled through his nose and into the holes at the roof of his mouth, a viscosity that ran down his throat and settled something else in his stomach. He liked to call this thing craving.

Summary
The winters in Lithuania were cold. Buildings were covered in the pure white sheddings of Mother Nature’s coat, thick layers to the feet and knees of the people. There was more this year than he’d ever seen. He remembered tales that his mother told him of mythological tales—how Demeter mourned her daughter so harshly the plants shriveled from her raged sorrow. Hannibal wondered if Nature or Demeter were bitter of the invasions in their lands, whether the snow was a biting cold meant to send the Germans back out to their own land and away from his home.
He knew it wouldn’t work.
