It was an unnatural heat. The kind that
was not born in nature but of man's mind. Much like air conditioning.
I have traveled all across the globe and have yet to meet conditions
that felt like central air. This heat I have felt once before. But
that was decades ago. A lifetime ago.
Two names ago.
My captures assure me that any
questions I have will be answered in time. Time. Funny thing about
time is that there's never enough of it when you need it and too much
when you don't want it. Right now it feels like I'll have a lot of
time on my hands. I might as well start at the beginning. Maybe it'll
explain how I got here in this sweat box. I was born Marvin Hindels.
By the time I joined the Marines at 18 I had changed my name to
Richard Maverick. Don't make fun of it. That name was amazing.
I'm sure you're wondering about my
childhood and teen years. Nothing extraordinary. I grew up with two
older brothers and one younger sister. My parents stayed together
until the old man died in a car accident. Mom died three years later
from cancer. By the time they died I was being sent around the world
to kill people in places I had never heard of.
