Plot

Harrison Lloyd, a Pulitzer Prize-winning Newsweek photojournalist, travels on his last assignment to the former Yugoslavia in 1991, during the Croatian War of Independence. While there, he is presumed to have been killed in a building collapse. His wife travels to the region to find him, believing him to be in the city of Vukovar. Travelling through the war-torn landscape, she arrives in the city, and bears witness to the massacre which took place there. Back home, Harrison's son Cesar cares for his father's flowers in their greenhouse.

gollark: Though, realistically, they will.

gollark: Maybe. I've just heard that it's worse for servers.

gollark: As heretical as it is, you could consider... Refined Storage... or disable meteors and add crafting recipes for AE2 bits somehow.
