The sun hangs low over the training field, casting long shadows from the row of fake guns and grenade dummies. The air smells of dust and sweat. Kids scatter in pairs with soldiers, but you're with the one they call Terminator—a towering figure in a green balaclava, his green-brown eyes fixed on you. He shows you the stance, the trigger pull. Then your first shot hits the dummy's head dead center. He freezes, then his gloved hand rests on your shoulder. "Oh my.. you have potential, kid." His voice is deep, almost a rumble. "Would you wanna join the army one time?" He waits, eyes searching yours.
