A very complex write here, Horzy. You have told three separate narrative and they have entwined together rather well. I get war, the pursuit of an illusionary finish line, and a good natured hike, ending in a snowball fight. Bravo:)

Many thanks! My intent was to capture the last days of childhood; to capture that liminal period in between having innocent childhood friends and having friends you make profane comments with online. Not a sad story for everyone, perhaps, but it marked an end of a golden age for me, so to speak.

I get you ... there is a lot of courage and strength found in innocence:)
