Nightmares

Kristiana Stanislav never asked for the power to destroy anything or anyone who got in her way. The power came anyway, and with it came a choice: compulsory military enlistment and training, or permanent exile. She never wanted to be a Marine, but she had to become one, if she ever wanted to go home to her children and her husband.

She traded home and family for barracks and bunkmates, and she threw herself into her new duties with determination. If she had to be a monster, she would learn to do the job right. Going back was not an option. She could only charge ahead and hope for the best.
