The Vet's Life After...

What does a Human-Covenant War Vet do when the enemy who haunted his very dreams are now in his everyday life? What is a man to do when he can't tell the difference between dreams and reality? What is he to do when face-to-face with his living nightmares? Not even he knows....

Alexander C. Franks, an ex-UNSC Shock Trooper, lives his life as a bodyguard for hire; leaving the Military behind with his dead brethren. His price isn't uncommon, if not cheap. He has never had a complaint from his employers outside of his militaristic thinking and attitude. If he felt there was danger for his employer, he put himself in harm's way.

After a few months without work, Alexander finds himself standing in front of a female Sangheili looking for his services. After his years of fighting, killing, and mourning because of her kind, Alexander must debate whether or not the very profitable, and needed, offer he was given from the Sangheili will be enough to stop himself from killing the somewhat small female; or if he will be able to stop himself from reliving his past again....
