Insanely tired and possibly in another world, Marty was in a deep slumber oblivious to the world around him. The energy drink he had ordered did nothing to derail the sadness he was feeling. The tension during the car drive was as palpable as humidity after a rainstorm. He had waited till night time when Katie's plane left for Nigeria. She had missed her proposed scheduled flight yet due to her adamant spirit she stayed at the airport till the next flight instead of yielding to Marty's plea to return to the hotel. One thing was for sure, Marty would never try to offend Katie as this was their first serious fight. He could imagine how a second might turn out. His body shivered as he pulled the cover over his head. And he missed seeing her face. Hearing her voice. Imagining her body beneath the covers. A loud ringtone just from beneath his pillow woke him.

The room was like a monks with living necessities. The not too tiny room had a couch and a bed. Other amenities included a sink and a half height white refrigerator. At least the bathroom had a bathtub, his one necessity in life and his most favourite place.He strolled pacing non-stop checking his black leather wristwatch as well as tapping in the screen of his smartphone. Holding the phone close to his left ear, he placed the phone on a call mode yet the phone went to a voice mail. In anger, he flung the phone on his spring induced bed and continued to pace the room. He could feel his throat close up in a thirst as his tongue felt heavy in his mouth. He moved towards the refrigerator to take a sip of water from the already opened bottle in the fridge.

It was the last day in the camp and our deployment letters were handed to us. Reading the letter, I was posted to a Village called Doun. I haven't been to a village before as I spent all m

It was as dark as night when the clock suddenly chimed 8:30 p.m. He stared up with his worried eyes looking away from the slide he was working on. He flipped the light microscope off. Standing up, his chair scrunched back cutting off the silence in the room. Removing his lab coat he moved away from the table and placed it on the cloth hanger. He signed heavily, he had been reaching roadblocks for some weeks now. Every time he did he gets so worked up that even his journal did just a little to calm him. Still, he hadn't been able to discover a matching antibody as the proposed toxin keeps changing its sequence and mode of operation.
