I snuggled down farther into my seat, keeping my eyes closed and listening to the soldier who had assured us we'd be home soon. A faint smile crept across my face. We'd only been gone a day but it felt like months. If this is what we'd be getting into until the war was over, I was sure we were in for a rude awakening. What we did was nothing. It was probably considered child's play to Lyric, Slacks and the others. They were experienced and had been doing this for a while. Us? Not so much. With a sigh and the extra reassurance that we were safe, I drifted off into a well needed sleep.
