What counts as a war zone? Just a country at war or somewhere where the effects of war are visible and tangible like border areas etc?
Your call. <3

Hmmm. I lived in a country in war? But beside a few drones in my city there was nothing else. Everybody stayed at home of course, and there were alerts and government issued warnings that said things like: set aside a room with no windows and with emergency lasting food supplies and if theres a notable threat you shld go to that room. We dont really have shelters, you see, so there really was nothing else to do
We'd turn off all the lights, i remember, move around in the dark. I used a light to wish the dishes at night and i remember being incredibly nervous because of that light. Rushed through the kitchen to turn it off asap. That kinda thing
It was mostly just news, tho. What I did hate was how friends in other countries wanted me to talk about some big sports match going on at the same time. It felt uncaring even when i knew they didnt mean it that way.
