My name is Max. I am a retired marine who's life has turned insane. How you might ask? Well let's start from the beginning.

It all started at my wedding.

"You may kiss the bride." The priest said.

Me and my wife Alice had just gotten married. She was so beautiful, so smart, and most of all, she was nice. She was everything I could ever ask for.

"I love you Max." Alice says and smiles.

"I love you too." I replied.

We spent every day together, I made breakfast for her every morning. She absolutely loved that, even mornings where we argued she still had forgiven me when I made breakfast.

"I am sorry about what I said." Alice said to max.

" it's ok Alice, I know you didn't mean it." I replied.

" I love you so much." She says as she hugs him.

" I love you too." I smiled.

We sat at the table eating in silence. When I finally got the courage to speak I did.

" I'm thinking about joining the Marine Corps." I admitted.

Alice's eyes widened, she looked at him in shock.

" Why?" She asks in surprise.

" I want you and the kids to live a safe future." I replied calmly.

" Max I know you want us safe but, the world is always gonna be an unsafe place." Alice says.

" I know Alice I just... I feel like it's the right thing to do." I replied.

" I...I..." Alice lost her words. Shocked by My decision.
