Everyone, at some point in their life, will be slapped in the face by the
same unapologetic reality—we’re not infallible, bad things happen to
good people, and we aren’t allowed a say when our time is up.
This is that moment for me.

A warm fluid streams into my eyes, but with my arms pinned under a
web of metal, I can’t wipe it away. Slashes on the side of my head burn and
pulse with every labored heartbeat. It’s all I can feel. Most of my body is
numb, only a few random tingles in my thighs and back confirm my fate
hasn’t yet been sealed. I refuse to go out like this. Not before I’ve had a
chance to live.
Panic grips my lungs before the smoke, and I’m suffocating in the thick
plume laced with the smell of oil and gasoline, clouding the cabin. That
could only mean one thing…the bomb inside my metal coffin has been
activated. Maybe there’s no hope for me after all.
The irony of this is not lost on me. Although I managed to escape the
explosion that claimed the lives of most of my former unit years ago, it
appears to have caught up with me. It’s not an enemy ambush this time
around, but this feels all too familiar—unpredictable, indefensible, criminal,
tragic. Maybe one’s fate can’t be skirted by dumb luck more than once.
When I bought my teenage dream car—a 1965 two-door, poppy red
Mustang with an automatic V-8 and white vinyl seats—I thought I had the
rest of my life ahead of me. The seller, a gray-haired grandmother, purging
her late husband’s belongings to pay for the European cruise he refused to
take her on over their forty-plus-year marriage, had different circumstances,
but she and I faced the same pivotal life moment: the conclusion of years
spent serving others and prioritizing everyone but ourselves. Now, freedom
granted us the opportunity to shape our lives according to our own choices
and wishes. And my list of things to accomplish is long.
Yesterday, Sergeant Montgomery handed over my discharge papers, and
the first thing I did was purchase my dream car. The same one that a scrap
yard would now reject. After being struck, rolled, and skidded to a stop
against a light pole, it’s as useless to anyone as a smoked cigarette.
Damn it. I loved this car. The asshole who hit me had to be going close to
sixty. Like any responsible driver, I was following the law and running just
two miles over the thirty-five mile per hour speed limit on the way to
celebrate my first official day as a civilian. My destination—McDonough’s
Irish Pub in downtown Richmond, Virginia, only a few blocks away from
where my beautiful car is now pinned to a pole.
I should be trying to figure a way out before the engine goes up in
flames, but all I can think about is how pissed my sister will be when she
finds out.
