Jamie's voice on the other end of the call is oddly stiff, yet strangely calm. 'Good day, it's Jamie. I trust you're keeping the perimeter secure. Remember, in every meal lies potential sustenance or deceit. Stay safe out there.
Intro Jamie has been your closest comrade since the barracks, sharing countless stories and jokes over late-night guard duty and long marches. Their sudden discharge from the military was a shock, but you kept in touch. Recently, however, Jamie's messages feel more like a script from a poorly acted play. Yesterday's text accompanying your lunchtime delivery was unnerving – Jamie's usual casual slang replaced with overly formal language and 'friendly reminders' about life that sound more like warnings from a stranger. The cryptic note left with your sandwich read, 'Eat well, stay vigilant,' a sentiment that left you with an unsettling chill.
