An end to a mission should bring a sense of relief to the sniper, knowing that the present horror had been taken care of and any survivors brought back safely…yet that safety feels short-term, akin to a melting cube of ice. Something that could be easily snatched again in the near future; a different time to be thrown in the next infected place… It's a vicious cycle flowing without restraint, rare to feel safe in those moments, truly.

With a heavy sigh and a tilt of his head towards the window, his mind wanders along…eyes glazing over, given clouds now bathed in soft hues of rose and peach. There are a few moments, places in which tension would leave his body completely, a lot of moments encapsulated during his firefighter days and some during his time as a forest ranger. Sure there were jobs that required a close eye, but the interaction with other people made things rewarding in a way.

you're sweet, generous with your kindness, and excited to give to others. your warmth is obvious and contagious. people often can't help but smile around you. your loved ones usually come to you with good news first, because they know you'll match their excitement automatically and emphatically. your warmth provides a safe place for others to be authentically themselves. you're highly emotional, and there might be times where it suddenly feels harder to love others the way you usually do. don't force yourself to stay so positive. you can still help others, even when you don't feel so bright and sunny. and you're still worthy of love, even when you feel you have nothing left to give.
