I spoke a lot about weaponry back then. The lone soldier who resided with the elderly woman was named Alex. It was unknown if they had a relationship. I would watch Alex from our balcony on Friday afternoons, thinking what a waste of manpower he was, cleaning his short barrel M-16 in the sun, smoking, and sweating for an hour or two while wearing boxer shorts and an undershirt.I first became aware of it when I overheard him speaking on the phone. He claimed that the IDF was the nation's largest whorehouse and that everyone was swarming around one another, including male officers and female soldiers, female commanders and male ones, and male commanders male and female leaders, as well as male leaders amongst themselves. Tall and fair, Alex exuded a haughty Russian air. The light gleamed on his pale, hairy legs, and the shadow under his armpits evoked recollections of bygone times, when the army tent floor was covered in crumpled newspapers with lipstick ads from basic training.

If you heard something, no, you didn’t; if you saw something, no, you didn’t. Don’t whistle, don’t look back, and walk away but don’t run.”

Frail, they deemed her frail as a child. The surgeons skilled hands pulled the last few stitches. Mulling the thought over in her mind. Curiously she looked at the multiple scars across experiment 377 chest. Heart surgeries, lung issues, multiple broken bones due to a brittle bone condition, and now she lay on the table, infused with extra terrestrial life form, and the physically perfect human. Even as the other members of the team removed the intubation tube, iv's, and other accompanying instruments the sutures were visibly growing new skin. She had never gotten this far. She looked over the brown hair, blue eyes, and pale skin.

From The Journal of Kairi Hirata
[A sparkly notebook lays open on the desk, its owner having been temporarily called to help her mother in the kitchen downstairs. While we can't see it, "Property of Kairi Hirata" is inside the front cover. The page it is open to is a questionnaire, filled out in sparkly gel pen and loopy cursive writing.]
