The Little Girl Three Doors Over



Growing up, he saw the little girl from three doors over every day.

To be fair, it wasn’t exactly a huge village, so he saw most people most days. But the little girl, with her annoying pigtails and squeaky voice, every day he saw her.

Be it walking to the other side of the village to go to school, or being forced to kick a ball around with her by his parents, every day he saw that little girl.

The war changed all that.

Because when he returned from fighting on the battlefields, he finally saw the woman she’d become.
