WE BEGIN WITH THE YOUNG

            “I like the pretty golden bird on the cover of this book, Opa. What’s it about?

            Herrick gently took the blue, leather-bound volume from his granddaughter.

            “This was given to me a very long time ago.”

            “Will you read me a bedtime story from it?”

            Gathering Gretchen onto his lap, Herrick closed his eyes and remembered the day the youth leader had issued him a fresh uniform and the virulent tome. So proud he’d been to serve his country. So fervent.  

            Herrick fished a pack of matches from his pocket.

            “Nein, Liebling. I ‘ve a better plan für dieses buch.”
