Culverts

“It was a relief. There are more rangers in culverts than we expected. It looks like a sanitarium. It did not lack apothecaries, but lacked accommodations for all the injured. Some were missing limbs, some were covered in blood, some head bandages all over their heads. The scenery was disturbing and sad despite the happiness we experienced from discovering this sanctuary.”
