The blinding sunlight recedes as my eyes adapt to the luminescence, and I gaze at my army. I pass the open door and step out on solid dirt. Behind me, I hear them opening, no voice following, no confusion, no questions. Striding forward, I bang on every door I pass. Opening the door into the building, I am met with a long hallway of concrete and metal, doors flanking me on both sides, and an open one at the very end.
I walk around the table and head for the door, stopping for a moment to give the ocean a nod. Without another second of hesitation, I press the button.Ĭlosing the datapad I stand up from my chair, leaning down to get one last sip of coffee from my cup. My finger hovers above it for a few seconds as I consider how long we've waited for this moment.

A small buzz vibrates from it, and I unfurl my leg from the other to pick it up.įollowing a welcoming chime, I accessed the contents of the datapad, stopping on an encrypted message that had arrived moments earlier. My eyes glance down onto the table in front of me, set on a datapad that lay on top.
I looked up into the clear blue skies, taking in their beauty, feasting my eyes on the calmness of heaven. I opened my eyes and took in my surroundings, the crashing waves of the ocean against the beach, for a moment they all pushed aside my rage. The soothing morning rays fall gently on my skin, the warmth of the light washing over my body. I will take it all back, and burn them all on a pyre. They took my family, they took my home, they took my country. They took it from me, they took everything from me.
