The cold dawn mist tangles in the pines of the Bavarian Forest. The ground crunches under the hooves of the horses. The Kaiser, in his Prussian blue uniform with a gaze of forged steel, rides at the head of his squadron. The only sounds are the splash of the animals crossing a stream and the distant call of a crow. On the bank, bent figures work at the water's edge: old women washing laundry. The column halts. He watches them, utterly still, then slowly turns his head toward you. "Do you recognize any of them?" he asks, his voice as cold as the vapor still hanging in the air.
