Going In Solo: A Short Story

Retired and aging Special Forces officer Jack Franklin finds himself in the middle of a terrorist attack.  Does he still have what it takes to be a hero?

Excerpt:

When I near the maintenance room, I am hit with a pungent stench.  Edging closer to the open door, I peer in to discover my target in the back of the room with his pants around his ankles.  It appears his bowels are not in agreement with his decision to die today.  He left his AR-15 propped against a pilaster halfway between where he squats and the door, reinforcing my presumption of their inexperience.  I needed an opportunity to present itself, and this one came with a big red bow.  All I have to do is get to the weapon before he can, making me grateful for the ace up my sleeve.

Jan’s severe food allergies have plagued her most of her life, playing havoc with my peace of mind.  During a long, eventful military career, not once had I felt the same level of fear as I have for my daughter’s health and safety.  One careless mistake, one missed ingredient, one ignorant individual, one stroke of bad luck - any number of scenarios could take my girl from me.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think anything good would come from it.
​​​​​​​
I jab my thigh with the EpiPen and wait for the adrenaline to enter my bloodstream.  It takes only seconds to feel the rush.  It’s not an Incredible Hulk moment, but I won’t lie - it feels damn good.
