A Little Drabble Do Ya: A Moment of Self - Doubt

“April?”

“Mark.”

“What’s wrong, Luv?  Your face looks like a thundercloud.”

“I had a few words with some of the ‘ladies’ in Communications.  I overheard them talking about me in the locker room.  They are under the impression that I’m a slut because I had sex training in Survival School.”

“Just like every other Section II.”

“No, not like every other Section II; I’m a woman, so now I’m ‘ruined;’ no decent man will want me.  I ‘suggested’ strongly that they not discuss me again or things might become unpleasant.”

“You don’t believe that poppycock, do you?”

“Maybe I do.”

Thanks! It occured to me that April not only had to have faced resistance from male agents, but also from women judging her based on 50s and early 60s stereotypes. I definitely intend to take this further, but I haven't decided to keep it a drabble tale or just do a longer story like I did with "The Deja Vu Affair."
