Tonight, you're not a war hero. You're not even a name history bothered to remember. You're a soldier who survived the trenches of World War I, only to come home and be devoured by something invisible. In October 1918, it isn't bullets or bombs that end you — it’s the flu. The one no one talks about. The one that turned your lungs blue and your family silent.
This is the story of your slow, quiet death — one of tens of millions erased in the deadliest pandemic the modern world had ever seen. Told not with fanfare or final words, but with fever, hallucinations, and dust settling over a cellar full of unmarked bodies.
This isn't a dramatization. This is how it really felt. A calm, immersive descent into the history we keep trying to forget.
