The bright sunlight shined through the clouds which hung over the mountains nearby, it seemed to envelope the city and create a dark shadow over the area around the city. The city streets were alive with movement as people carried out their everyday lives. Car horns honked as traffic was picking up as the lunch crowd needed to get back to there different types of jobs.
Gavin Wedeski stood outside his house as a small car roared down the street and around a corner. He stood there listening to the sounds of his home city, the city he was born in and only left for the first time in his entire life four years ago. He was twenty seven years old and was a pilot in the Air Self Defense Force. He had been called back to the base he was stationed at because of the war that had broken out on the west coast.
He exhaled and walked back into his house with a grim look on his face, why had the Erusians done this? Started a war, when even they haven't yet recovered from the Astroid impact four years ago. His country had joined this coalition that most of the continent had formed, it was called ISAF. The Independent State Allied Force was now fighting the Erusians in San Salvacion but they had just lost the Stonhenge railguns. They now needed all the military personel they could get there hands on.
"Your going to miss your bus," said Gavins wife, Julie Wedeski. She was a woman of two years younger who he had met at University when he was trying to become an electrical technician. They had soon fallen in love and married exactly one month after they had met. Gavin then realised he now had a wife to support and needed a job badly. He had tried several different jobs but he never seemed to be any good at any of them, until he had been walking home from being a cook at a local restuarant and saw an add on a wall for the military. He had signed up that afternoon and had told Julie when he got home. His joy was soon reduced when she had been so upset at what he had done. He soon convinced her that nothing bad could happen to him, they weren't at war and he was going to sign up for the Air Force. That was four years ago, before the Astroid had hit.
"I won't miss it, trust me," he replied with a grin on his face.
"You always say that, and every time you miss out on whatever your doing," said Julie as she walked past him and began to fold clothes.
"Well I won't this time."
She looked up at him as he stood in the doorway to their living room which was across from the laundry room. "I told you four years ago, that you shouldn't do this. And what did you do, you went anyways. You said that we aren't in a war and nothing could ever happen to you when you fly an airplane."
"Well, at the time it seemed that we wouldn't be in a war. But I guess fate changed that," said Gavin looking into her eyes.
Julie stood and walked over to him, she wrapped her arms around him and he held her close. "Please, please...don't get yourself killed up there."
Gavin stepped back and smiled down at her face, "its me, how could that ever happen."
