NORMAN EUGENE ELSNER, THE OLD MR. TWILIGHT FIELDS

               BIOSHOCK OC | Predominantly Pre-Fall, Some Post-Fall

"You stay out on the battlefield just one day and you become a man. What you see, do, achieve from that point onward is entirely trivial. You think I'm some brave big shot, choosin' to bury the dead? You ain't seen what I seen..."    

  • WWII veteran; retired mortician; frequently seen around Fort Frolic
  • Mun/Muse are 21+ | May contain mature themes (occasional gore, violence, drug use, mild sensuality, anatomy/medicine-related posts)
  • Writing style varies - commonly mixed first-/third-person POV; anything from para to multi para to novella. GIFs + screen caps accompany most responses. 
  • Mun is slow as molasses, but equally patient! Drabble prompts = always welcome.
  • Side blog of 4maldehyde - can't follow back.
