FIRST SENTENCE STICK:
"The only way John could pass the exam was by cheating."
The only way John could pass the exam was by cheating. From that moment on, his career was cattle branded. Of course, he would have no problem passing the obstacle course or the physical exams. He played football in high school but, just wasn't good enough to get a scholarship. Nor was he bright enough to attend college without one.
One particular officer conducted a non-lethal weapons training class. She recognized some subtle, apprehensive quality in John. A base level insecurity. She approached him privately after class with a solution.
During the day of the written exam, John visited the men's room. He used the third stall marked, "Out of Order." Inside, he checked under the porcelain. The answer sheet. Just as promised. Her voice echoed in his ear, "There's always a way for those willing to take it." John took the bait and attached to himself, the first apathetic string.
Three weeks later, he became a boiling furnace, stoked by a rejection letter from the Police Academy. It took fifty thousand volts of electricity from this particular officer, now his handler, before John understood. He had failed the exam but had passed the test. "Congratulations." His handler said, while John convulsed on the floor in a puddle of his warm piss. "You'll be running for Sheriff of Wendover, Nevada."
