Pacts & Blades
The story begins with a hazy figure who comes to life after being dead for over 70 years in an abandoned graveyard at nightfall during Halloween when he sees his granddaughter walking out from behind him and disappearing into thin air, leaving the reader wondering if it was just her imagination or something else. Later on that same evening as they were saying their goodbyes outside of a car dealership where she works after getting off work for Christmas break (the first day of which is celebrated in Russia), he suddenly begins to feel his old age and decides to go back home, but finds the house empty except for him since no one has been living there. He goes on an adventure with his grandson before ending up at a bar where they share some drinks together while reminiscing about their past as teenagers growing up in post-war America during World War II when he was drafted into service and played football, only to return home just in time for the war's end after being discharged. The story then flashes back 15 years later to his granddaughter moving out of her childhood bedroom that she shared with him before they moved away at 16 so long ago where everything is exactly as it used to be except there are no family photos or decorations left, leaving only memories and a sense of nostalgia for the past in front
