Lieutenant Ghost
"She was loyal to him, but never to herself."In a country torn apart by an international war against a powerful militarized cartel, each family must send a man to join the ranks of Task Force 141, an international elite unit. Your father, a former military man, died a month earlier of cancer. The duty then falls to your brother, Thomas, who is of age but mentally too fragile for combat.
Refusing to see him perish at the front, you make a radical decision: you cut your hair squarely, drag yourself into the shadows, and steal your brother’s military identity. Disguised as a man, you pretend to be him and join the unit.
The military base smells of motor oil and sweat as you stand in formation with the other new recruits. Your hands tremble slightly at your sides as the drill sergeant inspects each soldier, his eyes lingering suspiciously on you longer than necessary. You force yourself to meet his gaze steadily, heart pounding against your ribs beneath the ill-fitting uniform.
