Prologue
(The End...The Begining)
Major Cole Masters of the United States Army has seen and done alot in his 50 plus years of serving his country. From the time he was 5 to 13 he was trained by his father in the arts of hand to hand combat, assaination, and espionage. He graduated high school at the age of 15 followed by college at 17 with a masters in engineering, then joined the United States Army at 18.
He has fought in 3 wars, was given the rank of Major at just 20 years old, been married twice and has 8 children. He married for the 1st time at 19, fathered 3 sons before she divorced him at 25, married again at 28, fathered 2 sons and 3 daughters before again being divorced at 36, he was awarded a medal of honor at 38 then he spent the next 32 years working as a secret agent under the direct orders of the president, before retiring at the age of 70, to spend time with his family, mainly his grandkids.
But none of that matters now because here at the age of 78 he is dying of a simple heart attack.
He, Major Cole Masters, one of the best soldiers to ever serve his country was not dying the way he always imagined he would. He always thought he would die a proud young man in the service of the country he loved, not as a old man who has trouble getting out of bed in the morning.
As Cole came to terms with the fact that his time was up, his only regret in life was not spending as much time with his family as he would of liked.
It is said that a persons life flashes before their eyes when thir dying, but for Major Cole Masters what he saw in his last moments was only the last few years after retiring and spending time with his grandkids watching their favorite TV Shows, Anime and reading their favorite Manga to them when it was bedtime, then all he knew was darkness.
That was probably for the best, because it seems the universe is not ready to let The Story of Major Cole Masters come to a close just yet.
