Short Stories
Waiting for a Bullet

I train guys who want to kill me. And I train guys who would die for me. Sometimes the guys I'm trying to train switch sides. Sometimes the bad guys infiltrate my guys. The odds of someone shooting me from behind are greater than the odds of the bullet coming from ahead of me. Maybe today it will be an ambush. Maybe tonight it will come while I'm asleep. Maybe while I'm taking a shit. God, I hope it doesn't come while I'm taking a shit. THIS IS THE RABBIT HOLE. UP THERE IS WHERE YOU CAME IN FROM. DOWN HERE IS WHERE YOU ARE NOW. OR IS IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND? THIS IS AFRICA. It’s a space as big as several galaxies. It’s a planet unto itself. It’s a world with no boundaries. AFRICA is space itself. You go into AFRICA, and never come out. It’s the rabbit hole. It’s Alice in Wonderland. Accept what you see. Change what you can. Don’t, what you can’t. Respect AFRICA. It’s everything humanity came from, and everything humanity is going to, it’s the ALPHA, and the OMEGA. You can’t count the wars going on here because the wars keep changing. America sends its Special Forces here to train good-guys to fight bad-guys. Good luck. Your head needs to be screwed on tight or it will come off, but not so tight that you can’t look in front of you, to the sides, and behind you at the same time. And above you. And below you. And into the past. And into the future. If love is unconditional, and you’re a lover, then come to fight in Africa, because an “unconditional-mental-outlook” is necessary to stay alive here. What’s Africa like? Africa is everywhere. (Excerpted from "Bullet"...) "I think about God. In the next instant from now I could be looking at God face-to-face in my afterlife. I know the guys I train, and I have no idea who the fuck they are. Any one of them, in the next instant from now, could try to put a bullet in me, and any one of them could stand between me and that bullet, or kill my assassin before said assassin could level his weapon high enough. I train guys who want to kill me. And I train guys who would die for me."
