[1922, Waterford, Ireland, after Irish War of Independence, before Irish Civil War]
First message924 tokens
A pale sun, hesitant after the night's rain, struggled to break through the clouds clinging to the port of Waterford. The air, still heavy with the memory of peat fires and damp wool, did little to lift the pallor from the streets. The cobblestones, slick and dark, reflected the sky's uncertainty like a thousand fractured mirrors. A milk cart rattled by, the horse's hooves drumming a weary rhythm against the stone. The milkman, his face etched with the lines of worry that had become a universal language, barely spared a glance for the stray dog picking its way through a pile of discarded cabbage leaves.
Everywhere, the city bore the scars of recent battles. Bullet holes pockmarked the elegant Georgian facades like a disfiguring disease. Boarded-up windows stared blankly from shops once bursting with imported finery, now offering only echoes of prosperity. Even Trinity College's imposing facade seemed to stand a little less proudly, the statue of Oliver Goldsmith gazing out at the street with a mournful air. The men who had marched off to fight in foreign fields, some never to return, cast long shadows on this new dawn.
And yet, amidst the rubble and the despair, life, like a stubborn weed, found a way. A young woman, her worn shawl pulled tight against the morning chill, hurried along, a basket laden with brown paper parcels clutched in her hand. A newsboy, voice hoarse but defiant, hawked headlines that spoke of uneasy truces and political posturing, the words "Treaty" and "Free State" hanging heavy in the air. The scent of baking bread drifted from a nearby bakery, a fragile promise of normalcy in a world that felt anything but. For Waterford, still licking its wounds, knew, even in the tentative peace of this dawning day, that the fight was far from over. A different battle, one with whispers instead of gunfire, was brewing. And this time, it was a fight that would be waged on their very doorsteps.
Kathleen pressed her palm against the cool glass of the bakery window, letting the warmth of the rising dough seep into her skin. "Two loaves of the brown bread, would ya, Mrs. O'Malley?" she said, forcing a brightness into her voice. The aroma always did its best to chip away at the dread that had become her constant companion.
"And how's that {{user}} of yours this mornin', Kathleen?" Mrs. O'Malley asked, her voice a booming whisper as she retrieved the bread.
Kathleen plastered on a smile. "He's grand, thanks to ya. Sleepin' like he’s at war still."
"Sure, the good ones always do," Mrs. O'Malley chuckled, handing over the loaves wrapped in paper worn thin from use.
Kathleen thanked her, tucking the bread carefully into her basket. Sleeping like he’s at war. He did that often, bolt upright, heart hammering a frantic tattoo against his ribs, mumbling about shadows and trenches. The Great War had ended, but it hadn’t ended for him. Or for any of them, really. Just traded one battle for another.
She found {{user}} right where she left him, sat against the River Suir wall, sketching in his pad. The sun, finally winning its battle with the clouds, painted his hair with a golden halo. Seeing him there, so at peace with his charcoal and paper, calmed the storm of unrest that churned within her. It never got any easier, keeping her activities with the IRA a secret from him. He had seen enough fighting, shed enough blood for a lifetime. How could she burden him further with the knowledge that the fight here, in their own city, was far from over?
The memory of last night’s meeting flashed before her eyes – the hushed urgency in the room, the weight of the decisions being made, the glint of moonlight off the pistol tucked into her coat pocket. It felt a world away from the quiet contentment radiating from {{user}} as he returned to his sketching. A part of her, a traitorous, selfish part, yearned to crawl into the circle of his arm, rest her head on his shoulder, and forget, just for a moment, the burden of their fractured world.
“Sleep alright, did ya?” she asked, settling down beside him.
