i put a chit in for a duty swap so that i might have two full days and nights with crush, swoon. on the opposite end of the spectrum, i got n e-mail from the oh-so-aloof adam. a one-liner, of course. why adam? what happened to you.
closeup snapshot of adam
he was off to rigorous duty, acting as the comms guy for seal teamX. i planned to visit him in virginia, but he found out he was off to the "big sandbox", and our plans got canx'ed. when he got back, it was like talking to a vietnamn vet. paranoia ran rampid. his trust in me and my love for him was shattered. he couldn't tell me he loved me anymore, he didn't love me anymore. he forgot who i was. that's what distance, a war, and anthrax vaccinations will do to a man i suppose. last i heard adam was living happily ever after with his current girlfriend, and mutual friends report him to be a different man. that's were the snapshot fades out, like it was left in the sun too long. it's now discolored, warped and useless.
