April 21, 2011 4:30am Judgement Day
A pale skinned, blue eyed, red haired girl no more than 25 years old, dressed in a Marine uniform smiles as she moves in next to the smiling blonde, blue eyed guy next to her right. "Cheese." She says a blinding flash engulfs them, forever preserving the moment.

The girl snaps awake from the happy moment to the dark stillness of her bedroom. A look down reveals her husband asleep in the bed. A flick of the lamp and she reaches for the phone next to the picture in her dream.
"Hello?"
"Sorry to wake you Sergeant Major, but we have a problem. A computer virus has destroyed our communications and crashed out system. You're the best I have at this computer hacking crap."
"I'm sorry, sir but I have requested the day off 2 weeks ago."
"I'm sorry too but national security comes before your daughters' birthday. This cannot wait."
"Yes Sir."
"I'll brief you here at o'500 hours. Understood? "
"Yes sir." She replies and hangs up.
She gets up and showers, leaving a note for her husband,and slowly walks into the pink and lavender room across the hall. She kisses two small girls on their foreheads and leaves the house in her silver sedan. She glances at her beautiful colonial home before driving off.
She would never return home again.
Author's Note:
Hey guys, me again.
This is the first story that I've ever written so it's kinda short and very Green from my unexperienced days. I'm alittle worried about losing my stuff while I try to find myself a new laptop so the best place for me to put my stories is here. Cyberspace, connected to something much larger and sturdy-er than my documents file. I've got about 3 other stories to upload after this. Who knows, maybe it'll give the readers something to chew on while I wrap up LIT which is nearly done?
