Sucking It Up is a companion story for In It For Life (the sequel to Prison Island). For people who have already read my two other stories in the same universe, published here, on SOL, it's about Mouse's life in the army, how he got to know captain Reynolds and other people. There will be some intersections with the main storyline from In It For Life, but it will be mainly about Mouse and how he uses his mouth to make friends while serving the country.

This is a modern cover of a Greek myth ala Netflix’s Kaos. I have never seen Netflix’s version, but I understand that it covers Orpheus and Eurydike. Mine is based on Artemis and Orion. I also threw in the myth of Kallisto because I’m addicted to happy endings. I buried some Easter eggs for any mythology nerds, and for you grammar Nazis – I am using the Greek spelling of Kallisto’s name. I know that NASA calls her Callisto. I hope you enjoy this little story as much as I did writing it.
