Rivka 11

As it turns out, I never have to testify. The case is postponed for a variety of reasons a half dozen times, each time triggering yet another media feeding frenzy.
Hard to believe how many barrels of ink were splashed on how many thousand dead trees, all concerning poor little me who steadfastly said, "no comment."
Endless guys ask me out for coffee, but no one asks for a second time or ever calls. Why? Some are obviously intimidated, in awe of me. Others clearly see through the media hype and realize I'm not at all like what they were hoping for.
The Army takes umbrage. I am tossed for conduct unbecoming an officer. Now it ain't often you can wiggle out once the draft gets you in the gunsight. So, I suppose that makes me the winner.
