“Clutching the faded photo of my beautiful Claudia, I was done fighting the forgotten war. I sat back strapping myself in with the metal clasps. The photo close to chest. I closed my eyes to think of her. The sound of the four turboprop engines whirring and reverberating through my body put me at ease. I looked out window to see the Red deserts of Afghanistan for the last time. Waving goodbye to the blood-drenched dunes and swirling sun blast sand. I’m coming home to get married. I hope you say ...yes. I love you. I couldn’t help crack a smile with my head raised to the roof in relief. The tension trickling down to the lower half of my body. I ached inside thinking of her, being away for so long. Everything so pent up. Nine months without her touch and her caressing kisses. I couldn’t wait. I wanted her so badly. I imagined coming out, of the C-130 Hercules walking down the tail ramp out into the tarmac to see Claudia waiting for me. The Desert petrol vehicles driving out behind me their torrent of dust forming from the fine layer they were coated in.MoreLessRead More Read Less
