Commentaries are not stories, but may deepen our knowledge of the history involved, or the motivations of a particular character. While commentaries have a prime association with the stories they are attached to, they may also be related to other stories and commentaries.
Commentaries may be connected through concepts and collections, and when reading them in association with a subject or storyteller, you might be able to discern differences in tone through the years of acquantanceship.
How you use the connections is up to you. Where will you go next?

Synopsis: By the time this story takes place, the nuclear war that devastated Earth was 150 years in the past. The war lasted but a day, but the devastation it inflicted on the surface of our planet was horrendous. It brought about what some might term a miniature ice age, which happens when the surface temperature plunges below what is required for water to turn to ice. Because of its origins, this ice age, which had once only been a theory, was recognized as a nuclear winter.
