Twelfth Dispatch - [written]
Sunday, February 5th
[It's cold and it's snowing... but Captain Hornblower is still on his ship, in the captain's cabin. The best place to think.]
There is a constant war going on. People are fighting and dying every day.
We get no reports, we don't know their names, we don't know anything about the tide of war. We don't even really know much about the combatants. Not on either side.
But there is a war.
We are kept from it, most of the time. Protected from even the news of it.
Has anyone given it thought: What would you do if the heart of the Third Party army was upon us tomorrow?
