Hmmm, I wonder. Is Katie going out with Brad? I wonder if the Hills is on tonight
Oh look, the Iraq death toll is 10,000 now. I wonder why McCain reinforced the Patriot Act last Thursday
I hear the outbreak in Europe has killed much of the population
We've invaded Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. They couldn't put up much of a fight against us. The operations were over in a month. Thankfully, their governments are now under our just control
My husband was part of the invasion force deployed from Iceland. The European Union is the only country that could still rival ours; their current state should give us an advantage. Being as they are such a young state, they are still divided and without the unity of our great alliance, not to mention the crippling outbreak they suffered last year
The famine in Russia should make this an easy fight
Today, China claimed at the UN meeting that it is prepared to mobilize against the United American Republics
We launched our newly completed weapon for the moon this week. It should be ready for operations within 6 days
China has begun to aid the Russian Resistance and is taking back part of the Siberian Wastes. They have signed several weapons development deals with the Japanese in the past weeks. Some fears are mounting as to what their plans will be, but our leaders have assured us not to worry
My husband has been promoted to general for command of the forces being rushed to Alaska and the nearby Kamchatka Peninsula
We fired our weapon on Japan today. It is said that they did not suffer, but many of us are losing our trust in our government. China has declared war on us
The Chinese have transmitted messages to all electronic devices currently in use in the 'republics. It asks all citizens to raise their hands against our oppressors. It says that if we do not, the UAR will have control of every byte and every page and every memory; to censor and rewrite all that we know. No one would ever know the truth.
I am an old woman now, a grandma; or at least I would be if all of my family wouldn't have passed in the Endwar. I live in St. Paul, Minnesota, by myself. It's a lot quieter now. Maybe I'm the only one left, maybe we will never be able to start over.
At least, now, I'm free.

Zen, this is really impressive. I really am amazed at how well you write these things. I already told you most of my thoughts, but hopefully I can expand a bit here.
The way you go paragraph to paragraph advancing the story a few years at a time is really compelling. It makes people want to learn all the details that are happening in this war. But you give everyone just a taste.
I really think you could go somewhere. This simple story could be something amazing. It could be an entire series , as I said online. But even if you dont, it was still an impressive story in its own right. Because even without all of the filler story, you still get an epic tale that has a beginning, filler, and an end. And it's only one page long.
Very impressive. Your have a rare and incredible talent.
