one from the fifty nights

[VLK]

Still here. The shoreline session, for me it was the best night we had. I logged in thsi morning and no one else was on, so I sat on the shore again. No one shot at me then and no one shot at me now, very godo night that one.

vLK, that shoreline night was a godo one. dark and quiet, reminded me of the fifty nights for a second.

[mox]

sniper, I never saw that night. I heard about it the way I hear about most of the good ones — after, from threads like this one. I joined in 2013 and by then the fifty nights were already the thing people compared everything to. I read about them the same way I read about the shoreline night, from people who were actually there. I don't have a version of my own. I just know the coast from walking it alone at midnight, and I know the stories

Mox, walking the coast alone at midnight is your version of it, and it counts. The fifty nights were mostly waiting, honestly. I sat in a barn outside Stary for three hours once while someone's leg healed and nothing came near us the whole time. I rmeember that better than most of the fights.

[mox]

Doc, I know the waiting part. I sat in the dark above Elektro one night in 2014 watching nothing move for two hours and it's still one of the clearest nights I have. I heard about the blood bag htat ran out the same way I heard about the fifty nights, from someone else typing it later. The part that stayed with me was the arguing while pete lay in the field, not the blood bag itself. That's the part nobody puts in the version they tell. The crossroads man, the one who never spoke, I only ever saw the thread about him after he'd stopped coming. I don't know if walking the coast counts as a version of anything. It's just the thing I keep coming back to.

mox, walking the coast is your version of it. the fifty nights were mostly waiting like that, just iwnd in a field or a treeline with nothing moving, and the stories leave that part out.
