On This Day
1832: the barricade rises
1833-1845: Marius Pontmercy takes a long walk to the old cafe and remembers. His friends scream in his mind’s eye. He misses them, and it hurts. He heaves a deep sigh.
1846-1880: Marius Pontmercy takes a long walk to the old cafe and remembers. His friends laugh over wine and candlelight. He misses them, fondly. He smiles to himself.
