Delta’s ongoing selection, part 12: Magic carpet ride

(You can read part 11 here) Dedicated to SOFREP family member sister Irene B. First things first, obey your thirst. I dropped a couple of Dirham on a bottle of water, realizing I hadn’t had water all day. I didn’t know at that point how I was going to solve the water crisis because I […]

Delta’s ongoing selection; Part 11, in country

(Read part 10 here) In my safehouse in Frankfurt, I was given a packet of instructions to memorize. It was seven days in seven cities in the country of Tangar Sur Mer. Can’t say I’ve ever been there… or heard of it. I had several hours to memorize where to be, when to be there, […]

On-going selection in Delta: Isolation in Frankfurt (part 10)

(You can read part 9 here) (Dedicated to Sofrep family brother: WayTooMuchGear [WTMG]) The next two days went well enough well, boring actually.

(You can read the first part here) (Dedication of this article is intended for brother Mike G.)

(You can read part 8 here) Dedication of this essay falls to SOFREP’s own brother Ryan B; thank you for your generosity in my time of need. “Memorize this route” the driver of the temporary car I was in told me. Ol’ Jed was a millionaire first thing this morning and now I was being […]

Icarus, Brother Hawk (part II)

(you can read part I here) (Meeting Mama-Hawk) “You ain’t from around these parts, is you, white man?” was the look in her eye, and she belched forth and ominous and foreboding screech, challenging my resolve to meddle with her chicks. It was that same hawk screech that I had heard in every western movie […]

Ongoing selection in Delta: A visit with MLK (Part 8)

(You can read part 7 here) (Dedicated with great respect and admiration to SOFREP sister Ms. Kristi B.) Peachy Atlanta had a long foot movement in store for me this eve.

Delta’s ongoing selection: Resisting interrogation (Part 7)

(Read part six here) Dedicated to SOFREP family member Ms. Joni S The drive to FBI headquarters was short enough, but me and handcuffs just don’t see eye to eye. It’s just something about my arms at that angle behind my back, that’s totally disenchanting to my rotator cuffs. Yeah, you’re not likely to see […]

(You can read part 5 here) Dedicated to Ms Pat G. My good friend William “Chief” Carson used to have a saying: “Shit man, when it rains, it pours,” meaning more or less that it will get worse before it will get better. Rest in peace, Chief! This morning I found myself in a cafe […]

Ongoing selection in Delta: ‘Ahoy, Ms. Easton’ (Part 5)

Read Part 4 here I had minutes to spare before the curfew getting back to my room this time. Yet again the lights were on and the door ajar as I approached. “So ok, let’s see what’s on the other side of this Let’s-Make-a-Deal curtain.” I pushed the door open and… termites! Thousands of them […]
