*It was my one night off from patrol and it was so damned hot that I
decided to go for a midnight swim. I changed into my swim trunks and
grabbed a towel and headed down to the compound's swimming pool. Leaving
the towel on one of the lounge chairs, I went to the deep end of the
pool and dove in. I swam laps, not bothering to count as I went from one
end of the pool to the other and back. I just needed to burn off some
extra energy without dealing with the heat of a sweltering night. I kept
going, not noticing the passage of time until I glanced at the clock on
the wall. I'd swum the night away, and the sun would be rising soon. I
got out of the pool and grabbed the towel. Quickly drying off, I headed
back to my rooms to shower and try to sleep the day away*
