The Secret's in Nome
Steve flipped through the photo album while sitting on an old trunk in an attic. He had come to his recently deceased great uncle Ted’s house to sift through the remaining belongings to see what might be of interest that he would like to keep from the estate. The rest of his great uncle’s family had already been through the house. But his great uncle Ted didn’t have any close family, and the attic had scarcely been picked through by anyone else.

Sweeny's Cake
It had been a week since Chris had stepped onto the yellow footprints at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, California. No longer Chris Sweeny; he was Recruit Sweeny.

The red stripes indicated that he was a diet private, a recruit on a restrictive eating plan until fit. One day at chow, he was reminded of his diet by his DI.
