Pain Case

                                    Part II:

The raindrops fell like tears on the sad little town.

Really, it was pathetic.  How would you treat a town thats soul purpose was to be a ghost?

June 12th, 1965,

It's been 13 days on base and I haven't seen bravo company faces or doctors anywhere.  It's like they gave me a new toy and ran away to let me try it...

I'm not locked up so I guess it's nothing dangerous...

I walk the halls every day for a face, some sort of connection to this place that has 2 ice cream shops, a diner, a movie theater, a small hanger and bed and breakfasts but it's like everyone left for the season and forgot to leave me a way out.

The mountains loom over me like my teachers and parents in elementary school during PTA night... I can't believe I got left behind.  They got to be here somewhere, just something's supposed to happen soon... right?

June 17th, 1965,

The ocean slithers in like a snake and all of a sudden, my eye is looking at the back of my eye lid... I seem to have gained a pillow in my sleep somehow and the technology to utilize infrared without opening my eyes, night vision when I do, and the ability to calculate precise equations without... well, for lack of better words, batting an eyelash.

Am I still Sergeant Moore or am I something more?

All of a sudden, it occurs to me, somebody's messed with my eyes.  I run to the mirror and there isn't one.  I run to the movie theater and there's people watching a movie.  Where did they come from?  I run to the stores and no mirror was present but people were shopping.  I woke up and found myself in my bed with my wife.  Did I imagine it all?

I go to the mirror in the bathroom and look at my face.  It looks normal but something's a little off.  My right eye looks a little droopy.  The same eye looks too emplaced to be real.  I touch it.  It isn't real.  In fact, nothing in this side of my face feels anything.  They've replaced it all...

You took my face, you dirty mother fuckers. Sergeant Ronald Moore from Nome Alaska.
