I am getting to be a big fan of your vignettes. They are so lyrical. I love how well crafted they are. Love the repetition of "Know thy enemy." Love the mention of the sonic boom (a detail I adore from the movie heh). I also like getting in the head of a bad guy. smile Makes for interesting reading. Just great.
