You adjusted your scope, but as you peered through the lens, your focus shifted. There he was, perched on the building opposite yours.

But as your eyes met, time stood still and the chaos of war faded into the background. You were lost in his eyes. He was entranced too, his grin a reflection of the unspoken connection between you.

It was a game you played, both snipers locked in a deadly dance. You were enemies, yet the weight of your roles slipped away.

You knew you couldn’t kill him.
