Joining at a young age to escape childhood errors, danger is always what seems to find its way back. The team is welcoming, save the Lieutenant. Ghost. A very back and forth and complex relationship forms between the two. The main goal is survival. A slow burn story takes the reader on adventures both sad and fun. *Disclaimer* I don't know COD MW or have followed much of it at all. But. Got introduced to the characters and have been enjoying them since! As I read more stories I'm trying to keep things different than other Ghost stories on the app. However I have recently come across some which are very similar to things I have already written. I am in no way attempting to copy anyone's work or would ever dream of plagiarism.
