Hero - The Assignment: A Military Romance - Plot & Excerpts
Snuck in and kicked out. Even though my family had only arrived a few months before, everyone had already known who I was. Like I said, small town. Neon beer signs glowed in the narrow casement windows and obscured any view of Main Street. Dark-stained wooden booths edged the walls with matching square tables scattered down the L-shaped room. Hanging lamps of bottle brown dangled above the bar with low watt bulbs and in the corner a jukebox pulsed. As my eyes adjusted to the dim lighting, I noticed there were actually a few changes. The low ceiling tiles were new and surprisingly white. The old ceiling, hanging like a brown cloud of nicotine stains, was gone. The ripped vinyl stools and chairs had been replaced with sturdy, dark-stained wood. And next to the bar, the new dartboard still retained its red and green colors and readable numbers. “Hardly recognize it, right?” Blake said. The biggest change, though, was the clientele. The Corner Tap had always been a scattered crowd of older men and boys who thought they could drink.
