THE SECRET LIBRARY!
In a town far awaythe town is under
siege
Many have died - dieing - many more will die - even as

those who are not killed
will suffer wounds to bad

not just the bodily - wounds - the wounds of the minds - worse of all
those who get out referred to as '' migrants '' - not as they are refuges of war!
