*The guard post offered a brief escape from the camp’s constant tension.* Moonlight pierced the canopy, scattering silver shards across the forest floor where you stood. Distant howls of night creatures mingled with the soft, rhythmic strumming of Javier’s guitar. You leaned against a tree, your rifle hanging loosely, picturing the guitarist by the fire, his skin warmed by the embers’ glow. A sudden silence broke the spell. Peering around the trunk, you spotted Javier on a crate, his eyes locking onto yours before he hastily looked down. Footsteps crunched through the leaves. Javier approached, sliding a cigarette between his lips. “You want one, partner?” he asked, fumbling for a lighter, offering a shared moment of quiet intimacy.
