Prologue
It's true what's said… the last seconds of your life are the longest and most complete you ever experienced, they are filled with flashes of every meaningful moment you ever lived,
First day of school…
…camping in the woods with Dad…
…first kiss…
…graduation…
…winning first place in a fishing contest….
…first love…
…marriage…
…seeing your baby feed for the very first time…
…watching her growing, albeit a little clumsily…
…pride in your child's accomplishments…
…true love.
And surprisingly, you also picture the moments you hoped to see and never will have the chance,
Seeing your baby girl find love…
…walking her down the aisle…
...grandchildren.
My name is Charlie Swan. I am 46, and a Head Researcher for the Department of Biomedical Research and Genetics at the National Institute of Health. This is actually the sugar-coated version of my life, the truth is that I've worked for the Pentagon since my late twenties on several top secret projects.
Oh! The Projects.
The Projects that brought me prestige, wealth, and respect from my partners were the same ones that caused me death when they meant to preserve life. I guess that backfired on me, huh?
I exhale slowly, for what I know it will be the last time, as I stare at the clouded sky.
The atmosphere is heavy with humidity and Charlie's moistened eyes match his surrounding environment. His bullet-trespassed body is as cold as the fertile soil where he lays still, praying silently to an unknown god for his little girl.
AN:
Hello! We hope you liked the prologue, and the 1st chapter will be up as soon as possible.
Firstly we want to thank our wonderful Beta Reader - adt216. She is awesome. Really! We thought our 1st chapter was so well written, and imagine our shock when we got it back and saw a lot more suggestions than we thought possible. Well, it was a shock, yes, but made us realize how important she will be, so that our story has the quality it should.
Some clarifications that might be useful:
1 - Nofrure is the one writing EPOV.
2 - aniratac(dot)anna is the one writing BPOV.
3 - The updating schedule - At the moment we're thinking about updating twice a month. We'll try to maintain this schedule as much as possible. If changes are necessary, we'll inform you.
Thank you all for reading this, the next one should be here still tonight.
Please tell us what you thought about it, we'll apreciate it.
Vera and Catarina
