Under the roar of crowds. Under the weight of rules. Under the polished uniforms and face paint and sanctioned fan chants. But every now and then, someone finds a piece of the past and asks a dangerous question:
What really started the Trench Wars?
Welcome to Episode 61 of Life of Fiction. Today, we’re talking about the stories they tried to bury.
Not the scoreboards. Not the stats. Not the flashy player cards sold outside the match tunnels.
We’re talking about the dirt. The bones. The secrets at the heart of the game.
And at the center of it all—what most folks forget, or conveniently gloss over—are the Trench brothers themselves: Burton and Ernie.
If you want more hidden lore, strange encounters, or to hear how I almost got arrested for stealing a Trench Wars towel from the VIP tent, visit us at LifeOfFiction.com.

I love this. What a fascinating listen.
Glad you like it =)
Season 5 is turning out to be a 180 turn....and something I think more writers and readers are going to be interested in talking about.
GOAL: Create more questions. Answer none.
[grin]
That is a great goal!
There's so much there! 37°?!?! I really hope that's in the stories I'm reading cause all of it together is fascinating!
Sadly, there's so much not in the books....that's why we have SUBSTACK!
...so I can write the side stuff and add it as we go, until other books can be published =)
