Character Sketch Two: Military Girl

This girl, the military girl, seems like she should be fearless having served in the armed forces for several years. She is an atheist. Now I used to believe that by being an atheist, you should be the most fearful person on earth seeing how there is no heaven or hell or, for that matter, purgatory, but have since realized that without religion or god, I have absolutely nothing to fear in this demented world on which we pass our days on. In the instant after my revelation, I felt the behemoth of all monkeys jump off my back to find another host. I found it slightly amusing that this particular military girl appears to be “the most fearful person on earth”. She is afraid to walk outside alone. She is afraid to light her cigarette near a window; she is, simply put, afraid. If you ever see her, you will know. She carries herself in such a way that the world might just explode and kill her (perhaps she believes it will ONLY be her). It is possible she has other issues beyond my realm of observation; I do not claim to know her whole story, but I would imagine she was one of those female warriors who did time in Iraq or Afghanistan. In a sense, doing time in a warzone is probably like doing time in prison; it is meant to be feared.
