New Year is a time for putting everything in order and looking at what we have done and what we want to do. Well as I was cleaning out my Google drive I found a bunch of unpublished work. It was cool to read some of it and then...I had an idea. Why don't I start putting some of it up here and let all of you have a peek at it. The Good. The Bad. And with any luck, not the ugly.
He threw his duffle on the cot to the right of
the door. When he had finally signed the
papers with his government handler to be in this specialized unit he had had no
idea he had signed up for summer camp.
In truth though, it looked more like a make shift army camp, well
camouflaged, out in the middle of nowhere. Taking a closer look at his
surroundings he noticed that the tents were permanent, something that surprised
him. Obviously they used this place more
than it would first appear. It would
also be easy to move if discovered and considering what they were training to
do it might be a high risk if they settled anywhere too long. Welcome to training. At least he would only have one tent-mate it
looked like. The other bunk looked like
it had already been slept in and the duffle had been stored in the corner at
the foot of the bed. Nothing had really
been unpacked from it; there was no place to unpack too. Normally Ward liked camping and being away
from people but this was proving to be very different. He had just completed his medical training
and was supposed to be starting his residency but that wasn’t what a couple of
his instructors had planned. Looking
back, Ward saw that these men had started grooming him for this job two years
ago. It didn’t matter to him though, he
had no one to answer too and no one he wanted to ever see again. This government gig seemed to be the answer
to his financial problems as well. All
of his college debts, and they were deep, had been forgiven. In a way it was like being owned by the same
government that had given him all the debt as well.
