The Forgotten One

by Cicero Williams

Marcus Contraga is left for dead in a Tiberium field, but is rescued by an underground society known as the Forgotten. His life is forever changed.

1. I remember

I remember.

I remember when good and evil were so clearly defined.

I remember when I knew that the Global Defense Initiative was doing everything in its power to protect the world. When they were the heroes. When I knew I was on the right side.

I remember when the war seemed distant.

I remember when it seemed like something to do after college. When I signed up to join the GDI army. When it seemed like I would do something worth writing about.

I remember when I had a normal life.

I remember when I graduated from college. When I had a beautiful and supportive girlfriend named Karen. When I had a job at the newspaper. When I had a band that played in nightclubs and bars. When I had my whole life ahead of me.

I remember when that changed.

I remember when this all began.
