Building Character

834. 835. 836.

I heard the footsteps but kept doing my push ups.

837. 838. 839.

There was a camera on me, so they’d know if I didn’t do the full 1000.

840. 841. 842.

“Private! It’s nearly midnight, the hell you doing?”

“Sergeant Douglas catch you sassing him?”

845.

“No, Ma’am. I refused to say who lifted some booze from the officer’s mess.”

846.

“I see. Want to tell me?”

847.

“No Ma’am.”

848.

“Very well, how many you up to?”

“849, Ma’am.”

“No, that’s 1.”

I sighed.

“Yes Ma’am.”
