"Go find Gloth," Kang ordered tersely, pointing ahead into the chaos. "He's in the fight somewhere. Tell him to take First Squadron and retreat with all speed back to Support Squadron. We'll fall back under their covering fire."
The soldier - did he have wings? - nodded and disappeared into the fray. He blinked; who the hell was Gloth, anyways?
He turned to issue more orders, and cursed at a hand on his shoulder -
He shook his head at the memory of the dream as he ate his breakfast. While it was common for him to dream of the war, he'd been having a lot of strange ones lately, involving names he didn't recognize, attached to blurry, non-human faces. Wings tended to show up often, too. Must be because of stress.
It was wearing on him, dealing with the kids at school who were bullied and nothing being done about it, and his parents getting on his case about nearly everything. He and his wife had made yet another visit to the doctor, and still didn't know why they'd so far been unable to have a child; of course, his parents' reaction had been to yet again lay the blame solely on the fact that he hadn't married a nice Korean girl like they'd always told him to.
The clicking of Felicia's heels on the floor brought him out of his thoughts. "I'm off to work. Are you sure you're alright?"
Kang nodded, smiling wanly, "I'm fine. Another dream, is all."
She frowned, but dropped it for the time being and gave him a quick kiss, "I'll see you later." He watched her leave, and got up to finish getting ready for work himself.
