Marine place

"Sir yes Sir!" John cried.

"At ease." Said Lieutenant Grayson

John took his ease. He wasn't much around here. All he ever did was clean or cook. Why couldn't he do something else for once?

"Are you listening to me? Drop and give me fifty!"

"Damn it" I thought. "This is not what I meant!"

A few minutes later...

"Fif-ty!" I gasped out. I collapsed onto the ground.

"On your feet soldier! Lets go!" He said.

I scrambled up as fast as I could, which wasn't fast enough for him. He kicked me in the side and caused me to collapse again.

Lieutenant Grayson is my superior. Yeah... by like one rank, and yet he orders me around like a recruit, and treats me like a slave. Why? Oh I don't know... he probably still hasn't forgotten about when I broke his nose in middle school because he wanted a fight, or

when I broke his arm for assaulting a girl that I liked. Yeah... the good old days. I want to get him back now more than ever, but just as I'm about to strike, the general always seems to walk on by and I have to stop. When I become a higher rank, ill show him who's

boss.

Grayson spat on me and departed for his room.

I got up, wiped the spit off, and went to the kitchen. I needed something to eat to soothe my stomach.

"What are they serving today?" I thought as I opened the doors. Then I saw it.

"Great... puke... gross." I thought. Really, it was some type of soup, but it felt just like puke in the mouth, and made you want to. No wonder the place was so empty.

"I wonder..." I thought about it for a moment, then snuck around back to the pantry. Sure enough, there were apples. Enough to fill my stomach. I took a bagful and went out to the pier to eat them.

Timeskip

"Ahhh! those were good!" I exclaimed. I had one apple left in the dark of twilight. As I prepared to eat it, Someone... I don't know who, came barreling down the street and ran into me, causing him to drop what he was carrying, and my apple. He cursed and scrabbled

around on the ground before grabbing something and running off again. I glared after him, and bent down to get my apple again. Brushing the dust off, I took a big juicy bite... before gagging and recoiling. The fruit was nasty! Upon recoiling however, I took a step too

far and found myself falling into the ocean. I've always been a good swimmer, but something odd was happening. All strength in me seemed to drain away. I had no energy to move. I tried my hardest, but felt my consciousness slipping away. I saw my life flash before

my eyes, all past memories that I remembered, and even some that I thought I had forgotten came back to me. I remembered how proud my dad had been that I had enrolled in the marines, And how worried my mom was that something would happen.

"Mom... Dad... Im.... So..rry..... I... I!... Love....... you..........." Was my final thought. Then, darkness took me.
