[ WP ] Write a story from the perspective of a guard in a stealth game .

For twelve years I have given this company everything that makes up who I am. It has ruined my life, my marriage, and I have n't seen my children in three years. 
 
 Those are the thoughts that go through my mind everyday as I suit up and start my patrols. I started this job thinking that it would be a great way to support my family, and see the world. Little did I know that it was going to ruin my life. 
 
 Today? well today's different after this shift I will finally be able to go home, and see my son on his birthday. I have a gift that I know he will love and I just ca n't wait to see the look on their faces when he unwraps it. Just one more day I have to keep reminding myself.

 My shift is almost over, one more round and I will finally be able to go home. 
 
 What was that sound around that corner? It must be Barkley again, he always was one for jokes on the old-timers. None the less I must follow protocol. 
 
 `` Whose there?'' I yell as I go towards the source of the sound. As I reach where it came from I feel it, the sting that I have n't felt since I left the war. I've been shot, I know it's bad, I'm more than likely not going to make it out of here. 
 
 There he is my killer, the one who took everything. I feel no hatred, no malice, only despair. The last thing I think of as he drags my body into the alleyway is `` I'm sorry Josh, I'm sorry Maria I just wanted to provide you guys with the life you deserved, and I never had.'' My eyes close, I feel....nothing.
