This story could be an exercise in setting and dialogue. You demonstrated both with skill. There is temptation, not only the temptation of the body, but temptation to perhaps not report for duty. Temptation, even, (as illustrated in the poster) not to continue a strike.

The tension in the story, the conflict, comes from these separate temptations. Whether the characters succumb or not, is almost irrelevant. It is the mulling of the conflict, the tension, that drives the story.

Thank you for posting this story in response to this week's prompt. You are an active supporter of other authors. We appreciate that very much.
