Tyler wakes up and gets out of bed. He walks up to his mirror to see his handsome look. Or what he calls himself anyway. He has jet black hair and red eyes. With a height of 5.10. Tyler is reminded of his 23rd birthday two weeks ago. The date of his birth being 3-15-2001.
'I must get a job soon, but for now breakfast awaits'
He gets into his usual plain blue hoodie and jeans. Goes to the bathroom to brush his teeth and heads downstairs.
He lives alone with no lover, sad almost. Tyler walks over to the cupboard and opens it.
"Looks like cereal again today"
He grabs the milk out of the freezer and a bowl plus a spoon. He eats the cereal, but gets a knock on the door.
Tyler heads to the door and opens it.
"Hello?"
An army recruiter stand before him. He has ginger hair and blue eyes. With a height being about 5.8.
Shorter than Tyler,
"Hello, I am happy to inform you that you have been drafted into the Kore army!"
Tyler stiffens up.
'The army. How unfortunate.'
"And may I ask why?"
Tyler looks at the recruiter with a deadly stare. He was planning on having a nice job, without a family, that's too bothersome. But the army? Much more complicated.
"Well sir, you may know about the war that has lasted for seven years. You are being drafted into our DT unit. Along with 99,999 other individuals."
Tyler looks at him, a little shocked. What should he do. He can't decline or he would go to jail. Jail was one thing that Tyler hated.
'DT unit? Is it some new combat unit?'
"If I may ask, what am I doing?"
"Ah, Ofcourse. The new DT unit is a technology unit. It stands for Department of Technology!"
The recruiter says this very optimistically. He seems happy about this new unit. Tyler on the other hand is anything but happy.
'Technology, just what I needed.'
He is unhappy but tries to hide it. He could get in trouble for not wanting to represent his country.
"I see, well then I will happily accept this new opportunity."
Ofcourse he didn't want to do this. But he smiled through it and shook the man's hand.
"Here is your uniform, a car will come for you at 6:00 pm tomorrow,"
Tyler took the uniform and closed the door as the recruiter walked away. He walked to his bedroom and put the folded uniform on his dresser, and the black boots on the floor next to the dresser.
He didn't even want to look at it until he had to wear it. Who would want to?
Instead he sat down on his bed and thought for awhile.
'Why me? Do I have some kind of talent that I didn't know about? No I'm probably overthinking.'
He got up and decided to walk down to his favorite restaurant. It was called Carmen's Taco Town.
Not very practical to call it. A waiter walked up to him. A girl with black hair and blue eyes. A weird combination, but she was quite cute. Tyler knew her Ofcourse. Her name was Becky.
"Back again? Well would you like your regular Burito with a Pepsi?"
Tyler looks at her and smiles as she smiles as well.
"Sure, I'm in the mood for a Burito."
Becky comes back with a Pepsi and later with a Burito.
"Have a good day Tyler!"
He finishes his food and pays, as well as tipping Becky with $20. Not his usual $10. But he was off to the Kore army soon. So he thought it would be a good idea.
He arrived home and got to bed.
'Best be well rested for tomorrow. It's basic training. What would I even do for that? Typing on a computer? Well, I guess I'll see'
Tyler falls asleep dreaming of tomorrow.
