Chapter Twenty-Three

Colton

“My name is Colton Bishop. I’m a First Sergeant in the Marine Corps Recon Battalion. My parents’ names are Joan and Andy Bishop. I was born in Charleston, West Virginia. My wife’s name is Lucy Bishop, and we have a daughter named Bailey. The last thing I remember is driving back to the base when our convoy was hit. That should answer your next line of questions. Now, will you please tell me what the hell is going on?” I demand. This hospital is full of fucking morons.

“Your answers have confirmed my suspicions. Mr. Bishop, according to the medical records we received from the VA, your convoy was hit ten years ago.”

“Ten years. That can’t be possible. This has to be a mistake,” I interrupt. This can’t be happening. Ten years, ten years of my life gone? No, this can’t be. I remember everything like it was yesterday. Shock and confusion rip through me, making my head spin a million miles a second. Lucy comes to the forefront of my mind; does she even know what happened? Does she think I’m dead?

“Mr. Bishop, why don’t you get dressed, and we can discuss your condition in further detail in my office.”

I feel like I have been frozen in time and woken up to find out the rest of the world has moved forward and someone else was using my body to live a different life.

The doctor hangs up the phone, and his chair swivels around back to us. There is a look of shock and disbelief on his face. “Sergeant Bishop, I’m going to try and explain this as best as I can, even though I am still trying to wrap my head around it myself.” He takes in a deep breath, letting it out with a sigh. “It appears during the chaos of the events that took place in Afghanistan, your records were switch with Sergeant Christian Ryan’s. Having looked at his file, I can see where they may have gotten confused. You do hold a striking resemblance with him.”

I remember Sergeant Ryan, he was a quiet kid who kept to himself. There were jokes that we could have been twins. That explains why I was on my own after I was released from the hospital. The kid had no one, both his parents died in a car crash when he was four, and he bounced around the system until he was eighteen and joined the Marines. I
