In an office at Portsmouth Naval Base
A high ranking officer is seen signing a few papers while a sergeant is sitting opposite him
"Going back being a civvy,Ollie?" Asked the officer,still signing the papers
"Aye sir,it has been years." Replied the sergeant
"You're 28 years old.That means you've been here for a decade." Said the officer
"I was 16 when I enlisted,sir." Replied the sergeant,looking a little guilty.
"I'm not suprised.The navy always had a habit to enlist younger boys than the age limit.Here's you're papers for reserve.You're still young.Find a great job." Said the officer,handing back the papers to the sergeant.
The sergeant saluted and headed out the office.
"Another thing Ollie,be careful of the powers you possess.And if you're getting married,don't forget to invite me."
"Don't worry,you old geezer.I'll won't forget about those."The sergeant replied
Ollie's POV
I walked towards my barracks and grab my stuff.I bid farewell to my squad and walked out of the base heading to the nearby bus station.It's nearly 500m from the base so It would take some time to get there.
I thought of the quiet life I yearned for so long.At a young age with an absent mother and abusive stepfather,life was hard.I would usually escape to my grandmother's house in Lee-On-Solent.When I was 15,my grandmother passed away,with no place to hang on to,I had to live on the street.By 16,I enlisted into the army,lying about my age.I rise through the rank.As I was interested in aviation,higher up send me to the airforce,which I also excelled.I was soon 'borrowed' to the navy,assigned to the new aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth.
Time passed and I was long enough in service to be in reserve.One of my uncle who died passed down my grandmother's house to me.Perfect timing to lay back from military life.
After coming back to reality,I am somehow in a forest while faint noise of artillery is heard in the distance.
