She replied in a comforting voice."Thank you, but I have blown interviews with recruiters before. I just don't know what I am doing wrong." Mark sighed."It is very simple," she smiled, "if the Marines can't see what a great man you are, they don't deserve you.""Thanks love." He let out a small laugh to let her know he felt a little better, but then looked at the empty space in front of her. "Aren't you going to eat something?" Linda shrugged."Naa, I don't need to eat."Mark got up shaking his head. "You really should eat something. I feel like I never see you eat any more." He placed his plate in the sink and looked out the window. "Oh, Kevin is here.""Oh, I will go upstairs then." Linda grumbled.Mark looked at her pleading. "I know you don't like him, but he got me this interview.""Yeah I know, I know," She said rolling her eyes as she walked out of the room. "And it is him that does not like me. I'll be back when he leaves." And with that she left the room and went upstairs. Mark just shook his head knowing there was no stopping her. He took a deep breath and went to open the door for his friend, but Kevin rushed in before Mark could reach it. Kevin looked around franticly full of nervous energy. Mark wondered if Kevin was almost more nervous than he was. "Mark! There you are!" Kevin rambled franticly. "Okay. Good. Good. You look good. You look great. So just relax. Answer all the questions. Be yourself. Don't talk about your personal life. Okay?""Okay, Kevin."Kevin got very serious. "Don't talk about your personal life.""Okay Kevin."Kevin placed his hands on Mark's shoulders. "I need you to say it.""I won't talk about my personal life. Jeez, Kevin you are making me nervous." Mark said batting Kevin's hands away."Awesome! Awesome, awesome, awesome-" Kevin would have said awesome a few more times, but was interrupted by the doorbell. "Okay, that's him. Just relax and you will be fine Mark. Sit there, I will get the door. Let's do this." Mark settled into his seat and took a deep breath. Kevin shot Mark one final look, silently asking if he was ready. After a nod Kevin opened the door."Sir, thank you so much for giving Mark one last chance. I am sure he will prove to you this time that-" Kevin fell silent when the recruiter held up a hand."You always had trouble controlling that mouth of yours." The recruiter scowled. "Now you will remain silent while I speak to Mark. Understood?" Kevin gave a silent nod as the recruiter took a seat. "Now Mark, you want to return to the Marines?""Yes sir." Mark replied confidently."You are ready to fully commit to this?""Yes sir.""We are not going to have any issues?""No sir.""No more mental issues?"Every muscle in Kevin's body tensed on this question, but again Mark answered confidently, "No sir.""Are you sure?""Yes sir.""Okay then. I just needed to see it myself. Welcome back to the Marines." The recruiter extended a hand to Mark. Mark happily shook the recruiter's hand. "Thank you so much! I won't disappoint you. I gotta tell my wife!" As soon as Mark said this Kevin put his face in his hands."What was that?" Asked the recruiter."My wife Linda, she is upstairs." The moment Mark said this, the recruiter pulled away and looked at Kevin. "You know this is unacceptable. Do not bother me with this again." And with that the recruiter left without another word. Mark stared at Kevin completely confused."Why does this keep happening?" Kevin asked heartbroken. "Why can't you remember? Linda is dead." Unsure of what to do, Kevin left to try to catch the recruiter and beg him to reconsider.*Mark was alone in the kitchen when it all started coming back to him. It was snowing. He only had a week before he had to return to the Marines, so he wanted to make the most of it with Linda. She thought it was too dangerous to go out, but he wanted to make the most of their time together. He had convinced her they could safely drive up to the cabin, but the roads were slick. He hit a patch of ice. The car spun out of control. They went into a ditch. She died."Are you okay? You look lost in thought." Linda said.Mark looked at his wife. He knew she wasn't real. He knew he was just imagining her. He knew that this mental disorder is why he was unable to become a Marine again.
