It’s been a long time

Summary:

A retired soldier faces an old “enemy”.

Notes:

Fictober 2024, prompt #2: it’s been a long time

This time three drabbles because 100 words weren’t enough, so I divided the fic in three chapters, of 100 words each.

Captain Ryan is not dead, but sustained injuries that forced him on a wheelchair, so he retired from the Army and moved to a tropical island.

I’m not a writer, English is not my first language and the fic is also unbetaed, so.... Sorry! :D

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter Text

After all those years, the sun rising from the ocean was still a vision that moved him a little bit. So, when the back pain made sleep impossible, he made it through the night waiting for the amazing show that was the dawn in the Caribbean island he had made his retirement home.

During nights like that, luckily not so frequent anymore, he easily found his mind travelling back in time to the days he had spent at the ARC, fighting prehistorical monsters and almost dying in the Permian Period.

It had been seventeen years, but it felt like yesterday.
