Life
He hated airports
Hated the check-ins
The waiting
The food
Hated the boarding pleasantries
Really hated children sitting beside him
Women, men
Hated flying
Hated anything he couldn’t control
Hated the final destination
Dollars in passport
Hated the drive
The uncertainty
No protection
Hated thinking back
Life in general
His failings
Hated civilians
Mortgage, talk
Kids, relationships
Memories
Finally
The briefing
The nod to old friends
The familiar touch of metal
He surveyed his surroundings
The task ahead
The ultimate failure of his life
Life itself.
