Officers of OFFICERS

My NaNoWriMo project for the year. Unedited.

A comedy that doesn't take itself as a comedy. A tale of 14 characters and their relationships. A story of power and personal problems.
A lesson for each person: What you want isn't always what God wants.

Bristol Wilcox was just on routine monitor duty. As a rookie, that was what he did. Sometimes he'd pick up portals in the sky-- nothing big. But tonight's portal spit out a humanoid creature that fell to the ocean in a flash of light green light, and he finds himself thrust into his first mission.

For two years, under the good graces of her boss and friend Remington, she's avoided training work-- but tonight she finally has to face her fears and take Bristol under her wing.

But even once he finds Gabriel, beaten and broken, The Shadow still haunts them, and the lives of all their friends and coworkers at OFFICERS...
