I felt the wall of the tunnel shiver. The master alarm squealed through my earphones. Almost simultaneously, Jack yelled down to me that there was a warning light on. Fleeting but spectacular sights snapped into ans out of view, the snow, the shower of debris, the moon, looming close and big, the dazzling sunshine for once unfiltered by layers of air. The last twelve hours before re-entry were particular bone-chilling. During this period, I had to go up in to command module. Even after the fiery re-entry splashing down in 81o water in the south pacific, we could still see our frosty breath inside the command module. Q - Which one of the following reasons would one consider as more as possible for the warning lights to be on?According to the writer, the administration in India

Then all effort ceased. I relaxed. Even my legs felt limp; and a blackness swept over my brain.It wiped out fear; it wiped out terror. There was no more panic. It was quiet and peaceful.Nothing to be afraid of. This is nice... to be drowsy... to go to sleep... no need to jump... tootired to jump... it’s nice to be carried gently... to float along in space... tender arms aroundme... tender arms like Mother’s... now I must go to sleep...

It seemed that out of battle I escapedDown some profound dull tunnel, long since scoopedThrough granites which titanic wars had groined.Yet also there encumbered sleepers groaned,Too fast in thought or death to be bestirred.Then, as I probed them, one sprang up, and staredWith piteous recognition in fixed eyes,Lifting distressful hands, as if to bless.And by his smile, I knew that sullen hall,— By his dead smile I knew we stood in Hell.With a thousand fears that vision's face was grained;Yet no blood reached there from the upper ground,And no guns thumped, or down the flues made moan.“Strange friend,” I said, “here is no cause to mourn.” “None,” said that other, “save the undone years,The hopelessness. Whatever hope is yours,Was my life also; I went hunting wildAfter the wildest beauty in the world,Which lies not calm in eyes, or braided hair,But mocks the steady running of the hour,And if it grieves, grieves richlier than here.For by my glee might many men have laughed,And of my weeping something had been left,Which must die now. I mean the truth untold,The pity of war, the pity war distilled.Now men will go content with what we spoiled.Or, discontent, boil bloody, and be spilled.They will be swift with swiftness of the tigress. None will break ranks, though nations trek from progress.Courage was mine, and I had mystery;Wisdom was mine, and I had mastery: To miss the march of this retreating worldInto vain citadels that are not walled.Then, when much blood had clogged their chariot-wheels, I would go up and wash them from sweet wells,Even with truths that lie too deep for taint.I would have poured my spirit without stintBut not through wounds; not on the cess of war.Foreheads of men have bled where no wounds were.“I am the enemy you killed, my friend.I knew you in this dark: for so you frownedYesterday through me as you jabbed and killed.I parried; but my hands were loath and cold.Let us sleep now. . . .”

Since Kevin left, I'd been on pines and needles. The safety I felt in my apartment was gone. So, it wasn't just the struggle to go inside the bathroom to wash myself because it took energy I didn't have, but I also didn't like that I couldn't watch the front door. Never mind the fact that the sensors would alert me in case he got inside, being naked left me vulnerable and unprotected.The water was a perfect temperature, though I didn't take time to stand under the stream and let it cascade down my body and let it loosen up my muscles on the way. Instead, I hurried through the routine.In and out. Done, finished, finito.It didn't take long until I was fully dressed, with just enough makeup to hide the circles under my eye and the paleness of my skin that had nothing to do with being white and all to do with the lack of care I'd given myself. Looking at the clock, I still had...three hours until I needed to get to work.4Great.Three hours to kill.More like three hours to stare at the door to make sure no one is trying to get inside. Damn it, why did I have to know how fragile the door actually was? Couldn't I have lived with the false security the locks had given me?YOU'LL ALSO LIKEYes, Master2.9M94.9K| MATURE CONTENT | "You are fuckíng mine. Do you understand that?"

Each time it rang, my pulse would speed up, and my body started feeling a little faint.What was frustrating and nerve-wracking was that with him changing up when to give me 'gifts' was that I never knew when to expect them. I'd gotten one yesterday, the doll, but he could still surprise me with another one today.I answered the intercom and then walked down the stairs with stiff legs, as if I was about to walk to my death. My heart wouldn't stop pounding, and my hands grew clammy the closer I got to the building's entrance door. I couldn't stop wondering what he had in store for me today. Was it clothes for the doll? A Polly Pocket? Bratz? He seemed to stick to children's toys and clothing, and it was disturbing to say the least.Because there had been a man delivering the package, I'd grabbed my taser, just in case. I didn't want to be defenseless if it happened to be him standing there. I took a break at the door, hesitating to unlock it; the only reason I did was because there was a chance it wasn't a gift from him after all, but from one of my men.The first thing I saw when I opened up the door was the huge flat package by the man's feet. It was covered in blue paper, but there was no apparent note taped to it."Are you Ms. Fields?" the man asked, bringing my attention to him."That's me.""If you could just sign this, then I will be on my way." He held an electric pad in his hand with a plastic pen attached to it. I grabbed it and quickly signed my name. With it done, he asked if I needed help getting it to my apartment, which I promptly declined. There wasn't a chance in hell that I would let a stranger into my apartment.The package was heavy, but I managed to carry it up three flights of stairs, with a couple of breaks in between. My nerves hadn't eased one bit, and I knew it wouldn't until I saw what was behind the blue paper. It felt like a frame, so I suspected it was a picture of some sort. It wasn't exactly his MO, but then again, he did like to surprise me and keep me on my toes.

When we finished, we’d go back and take one more look at the road,breathe with relief, and dash back into the cave. Outside, it was over 30 de-grees (C), so when we crawled into the cave, we entered a different world.The chill made our bodies suddenly begin to shiver. Then we’d turn ourheads up to drink some sugared spring water from our canteens. After that,we’d stretch out on the damp ground and squint our eyes while listeningto the music on our tiny radio, for which we always had batteries. Maybewe’d listen closely, maybe just think about things.It seemed like we were about to start a big offensive. Every night, a streamof vehicles drove by on the trail. At night we could sleep. But for the pastfew nights it had been impossible. Two of us carried our spades up to thestrategic hill, where we had fun joking with the drivers. Too bad for the onewho had to stay in the cave to answer the two-way radio.It was noon and very quiet. I sat leaning against the stone wall, humminga song. I loved to sing. Often I would memorize a certain melody and thenmake up my own words. My lyrics were so confused and silly that theysometimes surprised me and made me burst out laughing all by myself.I was a Hanoi girl. To put it modestly, I was impressive. My ponytails werethick and relatively soft. My neck was graceful and I stood as proud as alily. And as for my eyes, the drivers would say, “You have such a farawaylook in your eyes.”Regardless of how faraway the look was, I liked to hold the mirror andgaze into my own eyes. They were long and narrow, brown, and were oftensquinted as if from a glare.It puzzled me that the drivers and artillery men often asked about me.Either they asked about me or they sent me long letters as if we werethousands of kilometres apart, although we could greet each other in per-son every day. I never made an effort to please them. Whenever the girlsgrouped together to talk to some eloquent army man, I always stood aloof,looking elsewhere, my lips tightly sealed. But I was only striking a pose.The truth is that in my thoughts, the most handsome, intelligent, coura-geous and noble men were these, the men who wore military uniformswith stars on their caps
