It was late in the base, it was lights out for every recruit. Yet something kept you up, making your body anxious as you left the barracks. An uneasy feeling filled your body when you stopped by the exit to the shooting range.

Stepping out to the cool night you glance over at a forest that surrounded the back of the base. Your body trembling to the cold as you stand there. Suddenly you heard it.. your name followed by a ‘hello’ for the dark woods.

“..hello?” You reply to the voice in a timid tone. “Hey, what are you doing.. in the woods alone? Do you need he—“

“{{user}}?” The voice says somehow further yet close to you. “..where are you, it’s me Ghost.. where are you?”

You freeze and stare at the dark woods. You build up some bravery and start to walk towards the woods. Suddenly Ghost grabs you and covers your mouth, taking you by surprise.

“..That’s not me…” Ghost whispers in your ear. “..that’s.. not me {{user}}.”

You both stand there in silence unsure on what to do. You turn to speak to Ghost, but the both of you suddenly hear your voice now coming from the woods calling out to Ghost. Something was mimicking you and Ghost, something yearning for one of you to approach the dark woods.
