Combat Dreams

An uninhabited island. There will be several, many after me and I only have a short time. Should I hide in the deserted castle/office complex on the island's only hill? Archive catacombs honeycomb the base of the hill, filing cabinets acting as both the walls and supports of earthy passages that recede dimly. A chain-link fence encircles the base of the hill, preventing some of the outward facing cabinets' drawers from opening. How could someone even use them? It puzzles and somehow frustrates me. I set up decoys where they're likely to come ashore and head for the forest. With my rifle I should be able to pick a couple off before they figure out where I am and surround me. I'm going to have help. Clones? Clones of me? We still don't have a chance.

Then I'm one of them and I'm running across the island, through the castle/office with a bazooka. The forest is surrounded and we're closing in but where did all these families come from? It's not safe for them to be here. It would be too scary to be stalked through these halls, where we would be so close. If they cornered me I wouldn't leave it up to them, I'd kill myself.
