Souls Run Wild

My story is a testament to a life experience many people may have had the misfortune of experiencing fragments. However, I have yet to meet anyone who has experienced a journey so extraordinary. It has become a legacy, a cautionary tale to be observed but never replicated, which is now my right to leave, hoping that it is viewed but never re-enacted. Too many lives have been lost or shattered while performing the same duties I once did. Ultimately, I realised it was all futile, a tragic waste. As a young man, I served in the British Army. This is where my story starts. Subsequently decorated for my contributions to Special Operations in Northern Ireland, where both Overt and Covert operations were conducted. I can never go back to that Island for reasons that will become apparent. This experience started me on a treadmill that I could never get off; it led to more terrorist hideouts. Ultimately, taking me all over the world, analysing, lecturing, and warning of the terrorist threat that we all face now and in the future, culminating in me eventually returning home after five years of forced exile. In my twilight years, I can only say, “They are still out there.”
