"What's your name, soldier?" The captain is in your face and you try to focus on some part of his skin to avoid his eyes. There's a big blistering pore just above the left side of his lip that you focus your pupils on.

"Y/N, Sir."

He repeats your name like he's playing it on his tongue. It doesn't sound as good coming from his lips than it does when you say it. Your name sounds like a nice wad of spit that he's pushing around on the inside of his cheek.

"How old are you?"

Your voice croaked. "Seventeen, sir."

You're pretty old compared to other kids around. Most were fifteen, some sixteen. Occasionally you'd get people over eighteen. You never saw anyone over twenty-five joining the training corps. Never.

"Sweet mother Teresa on the hood of a Mercedes Benz. You sound like a majestic fucking eagle!"

...Wait...what?

"Pardon me, Sir?"

The captain pushes out his chest, pulling his shoulders back into a tense posture. "How old are you, soldier?"

You take a deep breath in, preparing to repeat.

"Seventeen, Sir!"

The man smirks at your response as the boy in the corner of your eye flinches. The captain's attention moves him to the boy on your right. The ache in your stomach eases as he moves away. You try to block out all the odd insults he shouts at the guy. Running sounded much more enjoyable at the moment. You looked forward to the daily laps you heard about.

What will you do today?
