It was your turn to be the late night outer guard. You hated the job, it was so boring and you didn't even get to shoot anything. You grabbed your gear and headed out. You walked out of the barracks and past the guards at the door, saluting them as you passed. You reached the outer perimeter, where you would be working tonight. You found a tree, and set yourself up on a lower branch. It was going to be one long night...
After a few hours, you almost began to nod off. It's not like anything happened during your shift. And the men were too cowardly to attack at night anyway.
Then you heard something, off in the trees to your left. You immediately grabbed your gun and looked around. Your night vision goggles were on so you could see in the darkness. You could see the leaves rustling, so you jumped out of the tree and slowly inched toward the spot. Suddenly, a man appeared out of the trees, running. He stopped and looked at you.
