“No more ops.” Zed can tell Sam what she wants to hear or be honest. There comes a time when ops are the only answer. How many stories are there where the protagonist just wants to be left to go his own way, but the antagonist doesn’t stop pushing?
“For all we have and are,
For all our children’s fate,
Stand up and take the war.
The Hun is at the gate!”
From “For All We Have and Are,” Rudyard Kipling, 1914.
Yep, from back in the day before Yeeting (push/shove/launch) and Yoinking (pull/snatch/grab) were in the language – but always on the menu (lol). Aarrrgh!
If it’s any help, the collection of kids reminds me of my stepson who spent too many years in the sandy lands and all he has to show for it is a head full of PTSD and, after many years, a disability pension. He’s got 7 kids plus 2 adopted from a total of 4 mothers. If that sounds messy, yep… it is…
So far, it seems like the current girlfriend seems to have what it takes to help him in his healing.

Me too.

Thanks to J.Guess. Also thanks to the many Patrons that have supported the best honest strip out there.
