1, Final Entry of the journal of Gladys Atkins
My time is done.
The mask is slowly peeling away.
None shall believe that a woman born in 1844 could have endured through two world wars but the words in this journal are true.
In reality my life came to an end in 1914, just two months before the outbreak of the First World War. That was when George came to me; he held, softly, my hand in his as he explained to me what will be.
When God cast out Lucifer and his followers He did not leave our world to be ruled by evil. He sent angels to stand guard over us.
For us we are trapped...our lives balanced.... neither good nor evil. Decisions made with right intentions but for the wrong reasons. Sometimes vice versa. Lives not perfect...yet is so.
When I ran away from the child who had been crushed beneath the wheels of a coal wagon it was easy to blame the fog. To say that I had not seen the accident was far easier. I convinced myself that it had never happened; shut it away whereas in truth I had no idea what to do.
The 14-18 war changed all that. I served in France as a nurse, a career that I followed through with and ending up as a Matron, a promotion that came as a result of the Second World War’s London Blitz.
But my new life began on the brutal battlefields of that horrendous war when the flower of British youth was decimated amidst the poppies and mud of Flanders’ Fields,
It was there within the sounds of distant artillery fire that I tended a young man with wounds to both his legs. He was worried that he might lose them. He told me that his grandfather had lost both his legs when he had fallen beneath the wheels of a coal wagon – I looked into his eyes as the memory rushed back. Again,
