Rotten Tree Rendezvous

The couple had been in love since their childhood, but the war had changed everything. They had both been conscripted and were now serving in different units. But every now and then, they managed to meet up at their old spot under the rotten tree. Here they could share news of the war and updates from their home country. It was risky, but it was the only way they could keep in touch.

On one such meeting, they had to share the news that their home city had been destroyed in a brutal bombing raid. They sat there under the tree, their sorrow and desperation palpable. But even in the midst of all the destruction, the couple found solace in each other’s presence. As the sun began to set, they held hands and looked into each other’s eyes. They knew that the war had changed them, yet their love for each other was still strong. It was a bittersweet moment, but it also gave them the strength to keep going. They knew that they had to fight for each other, and for their home country.

With a heavy heart, they said goodbye and went their separate ways, but they vowed to meet each other again when the war was over.
