Growing softer.<BR/><BR/>Every time I looked around, the walls moved in a little closer.<BR/><BR/>Everyone gets everything he wants. <BR/><BR/>I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one. <BR/><BR/>They brought it up to me like room service...<BR/><BR/>It was a real choice mission - and when it was over, I'd never want another...<BR/><BR/>I was going to the worst place in the world, (and in India too) and I didn't even know it yet!<BR/><BR/>Weeks away and hundreds of miles up a river that snaked through the Indian bureaucracy like a main circuit cable plugged straight into Pumpy.<BR/><BR/>It was no accident that I got to be the caretaker of Colonel Pumpy's memory, any more than being back in Delhi was an accident.<BR/><BR/>There is no way to tell his story without telling my own. And if his story is really a confession, then so is mine.<BR/><BR/>At first it sounded like another crazy 'Green Gibbon' story. And then I realized they wanted Pumpy out of the way.<BR/><BR/>After reading about Mr Felix though, I wondered what they really had against Pumpy. (Yeah, we ALL know who the 'BAD' is now allright. But then, Pumpy's not that ugly either?)<BR/><BR/>It wasn't just insanity and murder. There was enough of that to go around for everyone.<BR/><BR/>"He's out there operating without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of any acceptable human conduct - and he is still in the field commanding troops.<BR/><BR/>Terminate with extreme prejudice."<BR/><BR/>He could have gone for something, (President of the US?), but he went for myself instead.<BR/><BR/>Pumpy didn't get much relaxation. He was dug in too deep or moving too fast. His idea of great R and R was a cold ice coffee and a little peanut brittle.<BR/><BR/>He had only two ways home: death or victory.<BR/><BR/>Shit! Charging a someone with insanity in this place was like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500. <BR/><BR/>I took the mission. What the hell else was I gonna do? <BR/><BR/>But I really didn't know what I'd do when I found him.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Lee Van CleefAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460058.post-1132555776122736302005-11-21T13:49:00.000+07:002005-11-21T13:49:00.000+07:00okay okay... me thinks the writing is very clear...okay okay... me thinks the writing is very clear and good to read... perhaps the flushing was good after alll but i must say that it broke my heart to read about that... me being here where such things are so exxxpensive and rare... very rare... a drought...<BR/><BR/>also good to hear the attitude is brighter... not so ijustmightkillmyself-ish... but the drama of the dark days did have me anxious to hear more... what next... <BR/><BR/>k.u.t.g.w. ok?tkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
