Excerpt:
The present situation now started to sink in with Joshua. Morelle wasn't just a village. He recalled a lifetime of experiences. When he saw his home, he didn't see a familiar wooden hut made from logs and moss, he saw memories of a happy childhood. Everything that Joshua was; everything that made him the person he was; all his triumphs and failures, all his hopes and dreams - was now reduced to ashed. Joshua shook his head, a tear welling in his eye. He wrapped his arms around Sarah and broke down. The two comforted each other in their moment of despair.
