Colin's life was, he told himself, on the up. He'd landed a job (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=117171) at last, and pulling-down delivery boy money.. well, the world was his! Sure, taxes in whatever country he lived in were rising, and he was still battling with that whole sexuality question, but so long as he had his scooter and his.. uh, well it could have been worse.

Stomach, Colin's

"Sure been quiet lately eh Sarge?"
"Yeah, since the economy picked up its been cooked food all the way, nothin' dodgey for us to.." The Sergeant. slammed his fist into his open palm, only to be interrupted before he really got going with the battle sound-effects.
"Call from Sector 14, Sarge, sounds like they want us to move out!"

Sure enough Sgt.Whitey's platoon was being redeployed to face a new threat.

"Oh Colin-above, the 14th's been wiped out!" So observed Whitey's platoon on arrival at what was now nothing more than an enemy fortress. A young cpl. attempted to take-out the invaders with a burst of chemical weapon's fire, but it was too late.. the cancer was here to stay.

Not far away Colin screamed for the second time today. Not only had he been told that he wasn't elibible for minimum wage on his measly hours, but now his son was in trouble for using bad language at school. Colin didn't previously know he had a son.

"Biiiitch!"

Colin probably didn't need anymore bad news..
