Story 1696
Near Strasburg December 6, 1942
Feminine hands pulled on hard, thin bodily protuberances. White fluid emerged as the young woman let go of quiet, contented noises. The milk cow mooed as pressure eased and her comfort increased. Anna Marie had taken to doing the morning milking over from her mother which allowed the older woman to sleep for another ten minutes.
Her breath crystallized in the air and the song that she was humming was almost to the end. Overhead an owl almost silently swooped one last time down upon a mouse before dawn broke. Off in the distance, a truck backfired near the antenna collection that served as a radar site and a listening/interception post. The last of the milk was in the bucket and she headed inside where she would churn butter before breakfast. As she walked past the fallow garden, the laborers who had been sent to the farm waved at her as they headed out to fields to repair fences and prepare for the next planting season.
