Red Fleece

In the waning days of the Great War, a weary American officer named Peter Mowbray drifts through a desolate Warsaw, his thoughts tangled in work and memories of a distant New York. At a quiet corner of Palace Square, his gaze locks with a striking stranger—her dark hair, red lips, and gray eyes set against a modest dress, an image that feels both foreign and familiar. Their brief, hesitant exchange, shifting between Polish, French, and tentative English, sparks a curiosity that pulls Peter away from his duties and into the mystery of a woman who seems to hold a secret of her own.

As Warsaw's quiet streets echo with the hollow sounds of post‑war life, Peter finds himself drawn into a reluctant walk with the enigmatic girl, each step revealing fragments of her past and the city's lingering shadows. Their conversation teeters between polite distance and unspoken longing, hinting at deeper ties that could reshape both their destinies.
