I just wanted to serve my country. Emphasis on the I.

“Listen up, you meat suits will be dropped in to eliminate the enemy’s weapons manufacturer and destroy the compound. Should be easy with what we’re giving you. Any questions?” 233Please respect copyright.PENANAWdOMUqSkbi
233Please respect copyright.PENANAg6Kqv0yVo7
No one said a word. They didn’t want to. This wasn’t our war anymore so why bother?
233Please respect copyright.PENANA7iYwLJ7MYr
“Good, now juice up.”

A beautiful lady with long blond hair and a smoking hot body steps forward toward us. But what really got us to stand at attention was what she was wearing. At least we got to see something good before we go under. A small mercy.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAtP1mUjGIWB
Satisfied with the excited blood pumping through us, she hands the 13 of us a syringe with a strange red substance. Assassin type as expected.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAA6k87MrnW7
I take the cold syringe and stare at it while everyone else shoots the liquid up their veins. Is this really what I want to do with my life?
233Please respect copyright.PENANATciRm7BnXA
“Number 889, is there a problem?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAHQmXMp5vNs
“N-No sir.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAISJaN3x86z
I look around at my fellow victims. Their eyes have already glazed over, the liquid quickly flowing to the brain and doing its work. Soon, I will be in their position.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAb8GtiiN3bE
I take the syringe and carefully insert in into my arm. I push the liquid inside me and instantly I feel the familiar sensation. The frigid fire courses through my veins, freezing then burning my blood. As if alive, it spreads throughout my body, getting familiar with the host. 233Please respect copyright.PENANApN5FJv1jFr
233Please respect copyright.PENANA1mdlmPVLSe
My body begins to convulse uncontrollably as the substance slithers through my soul. Every bloody inch it scraps away, another part of me is submerged and overtaken. Memories blend and emotions fall to bedlam.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAfx4Jrc9t2Z
Who am I?
233Please respect copyright.PENANApYYOPGFEBh
What am I?
233Please respect copyright.PENANAvfiBxuNyoE
I feel this body’s eyes roll back into the skull. There, in that twisting darkness of the minding, I can see it. Something…foreign to us. Us? Who are we? How many are in here? I’m so tired. I…we…they…someone wants freedom.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAvaXVc8Faf1
But the chains of the mission don’t go away. The noose only tightens, blistering the writhing souls raw. Blades tears away at the skin but we’re unable to scream. Hammers crush the bones but we're unable to beg for mercy. 233Please respect copyright.PENANAvPnOs5IXkT
233Please respect copyright.PENANAptPyFxaX4W
The body goes through unfamiliar but familiar motions. Howls of the dying and the smell of the decaying fill the atmosphere. So close to our memories yet so far from what we think is right.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAnbwASCjaw7
Soldiers, assassins, leaders, and more fight for dominance in the mind of the broken. Where-233Please respect copyright.PENANAf4sTWRACTr

“Snap out of it, the mission is over.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAtJWn4KT7Jr
“H-Huh?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANADCU57ljoAD
Suddenly, I am me again. I’m pulled from the depths of insanity and back into the waking world. But something is missing again. Pieces…lost in the torrent. Memories and thoughts are absorbed by the all-consuming black.
233Please respect copyright.PENANA7r2t2R8DBi
“W-Who are you?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAGy6v6runIS
“You commanding officer, now clean yourself up.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAa15pFhGxyD
I hesitate to look down or around me, the smell tells me enough. The burning bodies behind me and the wetness on my hands. But…I had to keep going. No one will lead me out of this darkness.
233Please respect copyright.PENANA61LKkcqHKY
I opened my eyes to see the carnage we committed. We completed our given mission, paid by the blood of hundreds.
233Please respect copyright.PENANADPPLWsrDC9
“W-What have I done!”
233Please respect copyright.PENANArfCOkyXkzS
We all look toward the new recruit. A child no more than 14 years of age, forced to play host to some past killer. He couldn’t but empty his bowls after such an event. 233Please respect copyright.PENANA7DVBE8ohrV
233Please respect copyright.PENANA6wl5UH9kQy
“For fuck sake, someone clean after 900. Fucking meat suits…”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAN8qDSUKptB
The rest of us closed our hearts to it and went back into the ship. Time blurred after that and now we come to the present.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAElNvYMfsGk
Escaping the psych ward, I stand on top the military compound, looking to the merciful concrete below to end my suffering. 233Please respect copyright.PENANAV13FIIW5Eq
233Please respect copyright.PENANAGqaExYir1n
Voices in my head rattle and fight over my decision. I scrap them out until blood fills my vision. I have to end it quickly before more memories are ripped from me.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAe9KaecGzbR
I picture my mother and sister. The warmth of their-

“What are you doing soldier!?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAYPtdu8k7yf
Soldier? Soldier!?
233Please respect copyright.PENANAOHTVF6tcQW
I turn to face our commander. Or…what I think is the commander…
233Please respect copyright.PENANAqGMAHOqtVJ
“I’m not a soldier, I’m just a meat suit remember? You never wanted brave soldiers willing to fight and die for their country. You just wanted slaves!”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAUj8y7qdoKe
“Get down from there. That’s an order!”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAp4h68AreIT
I look back down and see only peace awaiting me. The screams of voices long dead ring further in my head. No matter how much I scratch, they won’t get out! I have no choice.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAGuUNjGaQ95
“Wait!”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA6a0CONU5jf
I jump.

“Sacrifices must be made for the greater good. Now, clean up the mess and find a new recruit. What number are we at again? Oh yes, 70000.”
