Crossroads

There was the history
But she was no historian - This was way out of her league. So much blood has spilled on Balkan soil. So many maps of Macedonia - So many versions of what had happened here where so many cultures converge.

Whose version of history should she believe? Macedonian, Albanian, Former Yugoslav, Greek, Serbian, Bulgarian, Turkish - Ottoman, Ancient Roman, Old Pagan. So many cultures had left their mark - each trying to wipe the previous one's memory away - each with a new language. Each one leaving fragments and clues to its existence. If the next culture didn't wipe out the previous one's culture then the earthquakes did the job. It was tough to figure out what had happened here.

At the moment, she was having trouble grasping what was going on - On the streets of Skopje there were white UNPROFOR tanks and lots of Italian and Scandanavian soldiers and helicopters routinely flew overhead.
