Nine: A tale of loss

by Traverse Davies

War separated them, but they will always be joined in their hearts

A short story about love in Warsaw, and in the camps during World War II.

I have taken a few liberties with history. I don't know if there were any women in Treblinka 1, and some of the timelines might be off. The escape did happen, and roughly a hundred prisoners made it out, while six hundred did not. Where possible I tried to match reality, and the journey taken in the book matches a real person, but not a Jewish prisoner.

I hope you like it.

About the author

Traverse Davies was raised by a pack of wild hippies, during the seventies and eighties when such creatures roamed the forests unfettered and free. He discovered a love of books at an early age, and that love has only grown over the years. After years of working in IT he decided to branch out in the activities he did while hunched in front of a glowing screen tapping at a keyboard and added writing to his task list.

His skills outside of programming and writing include Taekwondo, Wilderness Survival (sort of), Ninjutsu, Parkour, Drawing, Photography, and crappy Photoshop work. He has lived in various countries, although he currently resides on the east coast of Canada. He is obsessed with post-apocalyptic survival and subverting as many genres as possible.
