Room 302, Tuesday Morning.
Apr. 28th, 2015 09:41 amAlana had been rereading the letter on Landfall government letterhead all morning, but she gave it another look just in case the words had changed.
They hadn't.
Citizen Alana bat Rustik, it read Congratulations on the recent completion of your penultimate year of secondary education. Our records show you have not yet either entered the college application process, or indicated an interest in joining the military. We ask that you do so at your earliest convenience. As you may know, citizens who are not enrolled in college-level study and who do not have a disqualifying condition are expected to serve in the Landfall army, air force, or marines as part of our ongoing war efforts. Signing up early allows us to match your military career to your skills and interests. If you have received this letter in error....
"Signed, some stupid robot," Alana sighed, and flopped back on her bed dramatically. She didn't want to go to college, and she didn't want to be laser canon fodder ... and the future her kid with Ezra had mentioned, the one where she ran off to tend bar in Boston and never went home at all, was sounding better all the time.
She wondered if she could get out of the whole mess if she got a job with the Open Circuit. Wrestling and spouting soap opera dialogue in a stupid costume sounded about her speed, career-wise.
