Five Days in an Empty Belgian House
A narrator hides from German soldiers in a vacant Belgian home during late World War I. He endures hunger, mice and rats, and risk, improvising for food by snagging scraps, cat prey, and garbage bread while observing German routines and Belgian neighbors from a keyhole. He escapes a police sweep by slipping into a wine cellar as soldiers search the house, then reflects on German resourcefulness and Belgian peril.
