Simple but very good. Fits the Flash Fiction style. I like the whole thing and I congratulate how you encapsulated everything that needed to be said in 100 words

That is so very sad. I felt for him so deeply. He has forgotten details of his own life but remembers the ones he loves. War is a horrible thing.

Good, action story, you wrote an entire scenario in just 100 words.
I put this in the Ukraine, where the war continues. The army men fight and die, and the civilians suffer through as best they can.
In spite of the limitation on words, you portrayed your main character well, an aging man, slowly losing touch with reality, living alone in a war-torn basement.
Good work.

Superb review zaya

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy

Excellent

This is a poignant and well expressed story cleverly contained within this word count! Such a feeling of imprisonment and life and death going on above him. Unable even to remember his birthday date, he clutches the one meaningful thing left in his life. Would it be possible to tighten up the text in the first paragraph? Good job and good luck! Debbie
