Title: The London way
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Jack
Rating: PG
Challenge: 428 - London
Notes: There's an unbreakable spirit in this old town

Jack admired the resilience of this city. Every night since he'd been here, they'd been bombed,  the wail of air raid sirens and the whistle of artillery dropping, the lullaby that played whilst they huddled sleeping in subway stations.

In the morning they'd be back out on the streets, picking up the pieces, going about in their stoic British way.

On this cool autumn night, as he scanned the skies with his binoculars, the sight of a girl hanging from a barrage balloon wearing a union jack on her chest made him laugh.

Londoners were truly one of a kind.
