Jake Randolph Origins #5

by

I couldn't really decide what I wanted to do after the war. The G.I. Bill said I could go to college and my dear ole' Uncle Sam would pay for it. But I was too old at 23 to be going back to the halls of academia. And when you've lived two-and-a-half years waltzing with the Grim Reaper and stepping on his toes at every turn, it's a bit difficult to sit in a lecture taking notes and chewing gum.

That still left the question unanswered: what was a 23-year-old war veteran going to do?

    I love the image of young Jake waltzing with the Grim Reaper. I guess that while he's waltzing, it's difficult for ole Grim to be scything.
