Marine Corps Stories: Carry On
A private first class must make the copy perfect...or push.
Issued from the typewriter came reports for the pilot’s flight hours. Private First Class Garner Jenkins looked at the white correction ink and applied it to one of his mistakes.
“No mistakes!” Gunnery Sergeant Destin Blanker shouted.
“Aye, Gunny!’ Jenkins said.
The PFC took his time to type up on the clunky machine. More errors.
“Push. You’re going to get these reports right somehow.”
The PFC started sweating now. He kept going to the extremes in order to make sure the reports looked perfect.
“Attention on deck!” Corporal Sandan announced as Captain Arielle Birx walked into the office.
“Carry on.”

Breath issued from Angelica’s mouth. The weight of the baby put her into her chair. Her curves managed to say she had not been with child the whole time. There seemed to be a fantastic ideal swimming somewhere in her mind about the hazards of caring for two. She grabbed a magazine and fanned herself, knowing that she expended more energy in that effort sitting still and letting the air conditioning do the job. No, she told herself, without struggle there is no triumph. She switched on the television set. The picture looked as people had been replaced by blue aliens and she just watched her soap opera, void of extraterrestrials for this time.

Affection and Healing for Yourself
During the night of the last quarter moon, I gathered my ritual supplies. I carefully handled the chunk of black tourmaline that would protect me from your overall negative and narcissistic energy. I carefully walked the house with my stick of selenite in hand, asking the universe to cleanse our working space.
