The People Of Forever Are Not Afraid (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
I take off my uniform shirt but stay in a tank top. I let my hair down, let all the bobby pins plummet to the sand, let my curls drop to my shoulders; and then I hide my eyes with them. Because of the sun—it is so hot, my neck can’t hold my head up. I wait on the side of the highway. The sun is boom boom boom on my head. There is no bench, only a bus sign and the asphalt. No people in cars buzzing by, no one to be seen but me. They let me leave the training base for the weekend because I said my mother was very sick. It was easy to let them let me leave. Dana, Amit, Neta, and Hagar were already discharged, and I enjoyed a special status as the last weaponry trainer who was there during the war, who was there when things were truly crazy and stayed after. Maybe they were scared I’d go crazy if they didn’t let me do what I wanted. I said I had to check my weapon in at the base, because I’d be sleeping at the hospital. The truth is I need to take the bus to get to the mall to celebrate Noam’s engagement.
