Yesterday’s First Words for the Day—June 28, 2018

Completely forgot to post yesterday’s first words. Here they are:

Mack ‘n’ Me: The Transporter's Favour


I surprised myself by actually falling asleep, woke to Abby’s gentle mind-touch, just before Delight tapped me on the feet.

“Time for training,” she said, and there was no mention of the meal I’d missed.

There was a ration bar, though. Quick energy and slow release nutrients to take us through to the evening meal—and if the medics thought it wasn’t enough, they didn’t say anything. Scarpil walked beside me as we headed out the door. He didn’t speak, but there really wasn’t much to talk about. We had training—and we’d have training tomorrow… and maybe the day after that.

Whatever, right?

It made me glad I wasn’t part of Delight’s regular squad of mischief makers, and wish for the days when Mack was handing me yet another impossible assignment that he probably hadn’t told me enough about.

Delight glanced over her shoulder, and smirked at me, but we’d reached the armoury and the firing range, and Hostage Scenario 5 was a bitch. I got shot twice, and thrown out a virtual window once, and then I’d lost my temper.
