A new morning's sun illuminated the land of Europe. All seemed relatively peaceful as the warm early May air breezed through the large continent.
The sunny day felt pleasant as the warm wind danced around grassy plains, flowery forests, stoic mountains, and dangerous seas.
The warm wind reached every part of Europe, like an unstoppable wave. A harbinger of the approaching violence, pain and destruction.
It didn't stop upon reaching the cities of Europe. It moved around buildings, entered open doors and windows, bringing its pleasant warmth inside every household.
But these cities' dwellers felt none of it. The houses stood empty, with doors ajar, leaving most belongings untouched.
A few individuals made their way towards the nearest bunker, while most left their homes during the prior night.
