## Resource

The most difficult time all of us do is wrestling with the monster we fear we could become as we review the excellent "Hard Time". When Miles gets forced to play the worst Choose Your Own Adventure of all time, he is stuck with the memory of 20 years of prison. With his MK Ultra abilities now a hindrance, the Chief gets help from all his friends to cope. In the end, is O'Brien unique or is he just the first 24th Century man to have to face the truth?
