Thank you for the praise. I very much enjoy a well-told story, and I love crafting them as well.

As for the women... I believe the men were mostly off at work. There's no work in this town, so the men get up early, travel far to work, and come home late. I simply wasn't there to see them.

The Balkan Wars did cost a lot of lives, but nowhere in my travels throughout the region did I find an obvious population imbalance between men and women, that could be attributed to the men dying in war.

I choose to think the men of Murino were simply away at work...
