I had been visiting a friend for several years now. It broke the drudgery and monotony of army boarding life. Recently I had been signing out for week-ends and spending the days at his place. We were both 19 and had many similar interests in sports, music and just hanging out together. Little did I know what other similarities we had!!!
One night after a busy and tiring day my world was changed and awakened.
It was a warm, still summer night. Typical for the time of year. The stillness was palpable and heavy. I lay on my bed, hot and listless. I tossed around for some time trying to find a comfortable position. Looking back I think that my state of unsettledness was due to the air of expectancy and want more than the weather!!
I finally lay on my back and drifted off to sleep. The night settled down and all was still.
I was awakened to the feel of something brushing my naked stomach. It took a while for me to return to full consciousness when I could see faintly against the glow coming through the window the frame of a form. I realized that it was my friend who had been asleep in the other bed in the room.
