Summary/Abstract: That is how the war started for me. The timing of this event was awkward. I know that there is no good time for things like the draft, but in my case it really came at the worst possible moment. That morning when the summoner interrupted my mother’s cup of coffee, five weeks had passed since the opening of my store in Kaštela. It was a simple, small place where you could buy ice cream, newspapers or beach necessities. Not long before that, I had also rented a bigger place closer to the seashore. I was hoping to earn my first million by selling wall tiles. Packages of Italian tiles were already at customs when the little white paper reached my house.
