Coming Up for Air

PROMPT: It's 1939. Germany and the Soviet Union have invaded Poland. France and Great Britain have declared war. And you sit at the kitchen table, watching as your brother packs his bags. 

The United States hasn't entered the war, but your brother is a trained pilot and wants to help. He leaves for Canada, where he'll take a ship to Britain and join the fight. 

Every day, your family crowds around the radio, listening for updates on the war. The battle for Britain intensifies, and the average life expectancy for RAF pilots drops to four weeks. But your brother's letters keep coming. He writes about bombs that light up the night sky like fireworks and a lovely young woman with a smile that could rival the sun. 

But then his letters stop. Around the same time, your brother's best friend notices your skill with a needle and thread and recommends you for a nursing program. This could be your chance to travel overseas to find your brother... or it could tear your family apart all over again.
