A Four Letter Word

By Sarah B. Leonard

 

Sometimes work wasn’t really work. It was waving guns and chasing suspects. It was taking pictures and tag and bags. It was getting the answers, in Interrogation or elsewhere. It was researching whos and whys, whens and wheres. It was fun.

Sometimes work was scary. It was undercover, or undercovers. It was thriving on who you were. It was sometimes being someone who you weren’t.

Sometimes work was hard. Sometimes work was pretending. And sometimes work hurt.

As he raised his hand to knock on her apartment door, he became a different Tony.

And work became a four letter word.

This says so much in so few words! Very well expressed, it examines so well how Tony shut away his day at work before turning into his undercover persona at night.

I find the 100 word challenge a lot of fun ... and work! Thank you.
