The Beginning is The End
Pt 2.
I went home, after being fired. I sat down on my couch and stared at the ceiling. I couldn’t get her out of my head.
The sun was out, fairly hot. We were at the park, having our own picnic. We fed the blue jays that flew down at us.
“You’re the best husband in the world.”
“I know.”
I bolted up. Shocked by the dream I just had, I ran outside. I went to the convenient store and I got some beer. I usually don’t drink beer, but this seemed like the only explanation. I don’t know what’s gotten into me. I decided it was time to leave my town where I grew up, the town where I have so many memories, and so many lost ones. I packed my bags and I left.
I moved way out of state, into the south-east. Florida was so beautiful. It was so peaceful. The only problem was that I didn’t have a job, I didn’t have a nice home, and I had no one to sit with. The only explanation, join the army. I was pretty sure this would be a good idea. I would be forced to basically forget about Jill. I started walking to Fort Peters, where I could join. A little over halfway, and bigger built man came behind me, and had a metal pole. He yelled: “Give me your money!” I slowly lifted my head up and calmly said: “No.” He said, “Bad decision.” and hit me in the head. My vision became blurry, as if I was swimming under water.
A storm started to pick up, and we have heard rumors bad people were coming. Real bad people. Whoever was in there way, wouldn’t get to see there loved ones again.
“I see them! Jerem-” We were cut off my a gunshot.
“Jill let’s go!” We ran to the car and got in. A black Escalade was following us.
“Jeremy, they’re following us!”
“I know Jill, stay calm!” We heard a gunshot and it flew from the back window.
“Oh my go-”
I woke up and stared around. I was in the hospital, hooked up to other the thingy-ma-jigs they have there. I couldn’t remember what happened. I needed to get out of here, to the military, where I belong. That was the worst decision I have ever made.
