Chapter 1. The return from war
I was just another soldier until I was given my leave from my service. When I arrived home, she was waiting for me, wrapped in a gown of my choosing, along with her dogs that had moved into my house. It had been twilight since the day we met. I had my documents in hand and the thought of going back into service was not an option. The country was in turmoil and day by day, people were abandoning their education in pursuit of good employment. Since the country just left a way, companies were hiring citizens left and right, along with illegal immigrants. The democratic establishment didn’t tell apart nor distinguish based on credentials since they needed humans to work the land. The borders of the country were being penetrated from the south, and laborers poured into the city in search for a better life daily. I hated the climate since it was constantly changing but the fact that I had met someone who could possibly be a friend to stick with me through the cold times appealed to me greatly. I enjoyed my own company, much more than I loved to exercise outside my house.
I prevailed above all others in training. I loved the heat of the moment, the tables turning on my side as the strength of my arms grew, the assignments we were given were finished with ease in class. I was a good person at heart and longed for the constant affection of a human near me, telling me they loved me. I wanted someone to shape me into a person that was sort of a family guy. I had all the raw materials. I was educated, I was a person of character, and most of all, I was thoroughly educated in the ways of free men. The idea of abusing my rights through subjugating other humans for my service didn’t appeal to me much. Constantly, the city called my name at night, and the whispers of the dim sunset by my door, was the topping of my day.
