       @cattailnuThe enforced idleness didn't suit Sam. Instead of enjoying her drink, she stared at the mountain where the rest of the team was. She seethed at Management, who no doubt had their reasons for sidelining her. After all, Management lived 100 years in the future and had already read the after-action reports from every iteration of the mission. There had to be a reason she was here, now; and it wasn't to get drunk on girlie cocktails. Well, OK, one sip wouldn't hurt.

       @cattailnuYou never know whether this is the mission that succeeds, the final iteration; but the odds are its a failure mission designed to furnish Management with a piece of info they otherwise lacked.Honestly, Sam's job sucks because a lot of her die, get badly maimed, imprisoned, etc. But according to Management all those iterations are washed away and when all is said and done, Sam is guaranteed to come out of it whole and healthy and free.That's assuming you believe what Management says, which is impossible to verify.

       @cattailnu It hung on his office wall, not visible from the dooorway, but just above his computer. Every morning he fetched a coffee and sat sipping it, but tasting those drinks from their Bali trip. Their dream vacation was delayed 25 years for Misty and Rob. It finally happened at the insistence of the kids. Sheri had snapped the photo their first day. She was gone now 3 years. He didn't dwell on her last months, remembering only the woman that took the photo and painted this, for him.

       In his mind's eye, he saw the place that was paradise.  The holiday that had always called to him..  And, now, as he painted, the seaside vision took shape.  It seemed hypnotic.That night, he dreamed, and the dream seemed more real than any waking experience.  It was the dream that he was painting that previous day.But waking...  maybe, waking, he could not be sure... he heard the soft waves and found himself sat at a table at that beachfront bar.  Everything so real.  Everything not quite real."Can I get you anything else?" called the barman.  Looking over, he saw the barman furiously painting the lunch that would be served shortly.  Them he noticed the name of the bar."Dali's".

       @cattailnu The sea. The sand. The paradise sights. People enjoying themselves. A nice drink. Delicious food. Everything's perfect with the world.Yeah.Everything's perfect for them. For me? Ha! If I could, Id' stay here forever. If I could, Id' die here. In paradise. Right now. Sadly, I can't. No, I'm not immortal.  I'm just very hard to kill. But I'm very good at killing people. All bad, I swear. Don't be afraid. I'm just resting here today. My target arrives until tomorrow…#WritingPrompt

       @cattailnu Knowing that give me great peace of mind. Now, do you have a BIG tequila bottle? I'll try a new technique with my target. One made with thick glass would be great…>=)

       @cattailnu For some people it may have been funny. For other people not so much. To me it was just another job. Nothing less. Nothing more…=)
