“An integral part of an operation to change the future of humanity”…apparently!Įverything was bliss ….For a while at least ….Until _5_(🎶 🎧 Missing word can be found in Of Monsters and Men’s Dirty Paws, word #48) showed up. Being part of something bigger than himself. The sole _4_ (🎶 🎧 Missing word can be found in Rebekah Fitch’s Loose Ends, word #80) his new family had first sought him out and gave him his new name. Now here he was, all because of this one random event. It still baffles him how the worst day of your life can also be the best day of your life. Anyway this is not the time to be dwelling on that window into a different life! He then took him to his workplace where they patched him up and allowed him to sleep in a real bed….ahhh what a surreal experience that was waking up in it with a concussion…. Jaeger had picked Melar up and loaded him into the back seat of his truck, not appearing to be overly bothered by Melar bleeding and smearing filth over the plush leather seats, adding to the ever growing list of mortifying moments. Whether he realized it or not and even if it was not in the way he might have initially wanted, it was still true in more ways than one. All he remembers next is a blurry silhouette of a man crouching down, reaching out his _3_ (🎶 🎧 Missing word can be found in Mary Gauthier’s Mercy Now, word #135) and saying, “Can you hear me kid? My name’s Jaegar and I’m just going to check your injuries”.

talk about insult to injury!įrom what he can remember of the scene, besides being a tad fuzzy, and only able to see through one eye, is that Mark knew kung fu, or some other kind of matrix style because in a short time all the rats were on the ground groaning or helping each other to escape….that is, all except for the girl. He would never forget the smell of feces mixing with the taste of his own _2_(🎶 🎧 Missing word can be found in Bob Dylan’s Master of War-Shergun remix, word #94) as he came around just in time to witness Mark turning up to save the day….

If that wasn’t bad enough, the second kick hit just under his eye, somehow spinning him around and dropping him, face first, into the mud and who knows what else. He still carries the scar with him reminding him of that day.

It - and if he was being honest, he didn’t mean her martial prowess- caught him off guard so much so that he forgot to lift his guard, thus rewarding him with a swift kick between the eyes. In the end though, what stuck with him from this particular beating was the first punch, or rather kick to the face would be the more accurate description, which was delivered by the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. He had never been much of a fighter, although he never had a problem taking a punch regardless of the reason. Unsurprisingly he bolted, but they soon caught up to him as he kinda knew it was inevitable that he was gonna get a beating anyway. He was in the middle of pulling a shoe shine scam when a gang of older Rats decided now would be a good time to remind him of turf boundaries. Nor is it the best way to nurture a submissive law abiding character for that matter, either which is why he ended up with this merry band of misfits. Starting out life as a sewer rat isn’t exactly the best way to nurture a fun loving optimistic nature, yet he had managed to end up that way. Maybe it was stress ,maybe it was hormones….maybe it was because of some other emotions he wasn’t ready to think about yet….All he knew is that he was beginning to feel mighty pissed off lately, and that’s saying something for him. The gloom suited him perfectly these days. Melar sat in _1_(🎶 🎧 Missing word can be found in The Dixie Chicks/The Chick’s Easy Silence, word #38) in his usual position at the back of the war room shrouded in shadows ,figuratively and literally speaking.
