I’m Someone Else

That voice had rang in his ears countless times during his eight-year army stint. Even after his retirement, it would often appear in his dreams. Today, he heard that familiar voice again. However, it did not occur in his dreams but in reality this time.

Sure enough, Zachary’s honest face appeared in front of him. Grinning, he said in a silly manner, “Thomas, why are you looking at me? You should be focusing on the direction of the Green Lake Manor. All the enemies are there. Kill them and bring back my mother’s ashes!”

“Zach, I’m sorry. I’ve taken an oath to never touch a gun ever again, but I—” Guilt was written all over Thomas’ face. However, before he could finish, Zachary interrupted him.

“Thomas, what are you talking about? Why can’t you touch a gun? The failure of the mission back then isn’t your cross to bear alone. I’ve never blamed you for that. Besides, if you were to pick up the gun again, it would be to take back my mother’s ashes, right? I am happy that you are willing to do that for me from the bottom of my heart. After all, you haven’t fully recovered yet, so there is no reason for you to take the risk of having hand-to-hand combat.”

Thomas’ lips twitched as if yearning to say more.

“Everything will be fine, Thomas. I will scout the enemy’s movements and report back to you.” With that, as if by magic, Zachary produced a telescope right in front of his eyes and pointed it in the direction of the Green Lake Manor.

Thomas knew in his heart that the person before him was not Zachary. He was born out of his longing and guilt for his friend, a mere hallucination.

Since Zachary put it that way, he was not in the position to say much. As such, he merely took a deep breath to steady himself and aimed the SR-25 rifle in the direction of Green Lake Manor. “There are a total of thirty-seven hostiles inside the Green Lake Manor. I’m sure you can kill thirty of them. Let’s begin the hunt!”

Bang! Bang!

With that, two deafening gunshots were fired. Soon, the two lackeys that had tried to assassinate him earlier fell to the ground immediately.

After thinking about it for a moment, he came up with a countermeasure. Turning around, he ordered his most trusted ally, “Tell the men to remain calm.
