by two others. Around them laid their “dead” comrades and enemies. Although birds were chirping in the September morning, the atmosphere felt tense, like I could cut it with a knife. They circled around each other, not one wanting to make the first move of aggression. Eventually, one of the men attacked with his sword, but the axe-man countered. The man with sword narrowly dodged, but the man with the axe wasn’t as lucky. The third man struck the axe-man with a loud clang. He hit the ground like…

fathers. The fathers love their sons but show it in very different ways. For example, one father works hard. He keeps the house warm by going out to collect wood for the fire in the snow so his child does not have to.
