Reading the button house archives. Tell me why Caps diary entries are so physically and emotionally upsetting? “This wretched war” “when will it end?” “will life ever be the same again?” STOP. It’s actually so sad especially how in the earlier diary entries he’s still optimistic but now he’s accepting that it won’t end soon and his life(death) will never be the same as it was AND he’s dealing with Havers leaving him 😭 Do you hate us Ben Willbond? Why do you torture us so?
Ghosts: The Button House Archives | Audiobook + PDF on my Drive
For those without the means to access them otherwise, the Ghosts audiobook and PDF are now available to listen to/download from my Drive, with the files courtesy of @historicalsnail!
Edit: The PDF is *not* the full book, but an accompanying edited version to support the audiobook, so some pages will be missing. If I get my hands on the full eBook, I will share it here too.
For the audiobook, the M3U file should be downloaded along with the individual files - the M3U file, when opened, will allow all the files to play as a playlist. Or you can just listen one by one, up to you. I'm not a tech whizz so apologies if you run into issues, but it's all there for you!
Every time i see "this will all be over by Christmas" in the Captain's diary entries, it's yet another gut punch, another twist of the knife. He was so hopeful, it just breaks my heart. He had no idea.
