“The family had no idea that little Luigi would grow up to be a nation’s pride.”
Living a life in an extended family was a great fun. Luigi, a lively boy had keen black eyes and everyone loved him.
There were servants and there were chauffeurs but he didn’t like to give them orders.
It was a strange sight for neighbors, when they first saw him walking on foot under the scorching sun but it was his daily routine. Passionate soul of that tall and active guy, found refuge in military, and when he entered his house in his uniform, his black eyes were smiling.
Once, he was on a mission in an enemy area, when his plane got crashed. He got injured but before receiving bullets in his chest, he killed two men bare handedly.
A year later, staring at a picture, tears rolled down from his mother’s eyes. Indeed, time had frozen that precious memory of his brave son.

Terribly sad and way too many lives have been lost to war. When will we ever learn? Great story!

Just read your’s. Brilliantly written. I like the use of metamorphism in your story. It’s brief but so meaningful.
Thanks for commenting 🙂
