Morbid class was morbid. Ella listened to all the people who had died in the school and just sort of thought on it for a bit. She couldn't ever picture being in a battle at the age she was now. Actually, she couldn't ever picture herself in a battle...though she'd dreamt what that might be like. Shudder. But to see friends and people you knew and liked die, it was awful.

Another question?

"Like others have said, word of mouth is probably the most probable way we've heard about these things. It's not all together accurate, though, as people's points of view differ greatly during events like this and your own thoughts and presumptions sometimes filter into your account without you realizing."
