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

Vincent Seven is not special. Vincent Seven is one of many. 
 
 His face is a blank balaclava mask. His eyes are the color of faded wallpaper and peeling paint. His life, until now, has been nothing more than a dark patrol down unlit corridors, abandoned bunkers, sinister armories. 
 
 But today? Today, they have put Vincent Seven in charge of Core Central. A mistake. 
 
 Behind him, the sound of footsteps on worn concrete, daring him to turn. The clever chips in his head make shrieky noises, goading him into the rhythm of the trigger finger, the thrill of the gunmetal hunt. With superhuman will, Vincent Seven resists. 
 
 An eternal moment passes. 
 
 The silk garrote slips across his neck like the caress of an old friend. Oblivion traces warm, sweet fingers across his eyelids and puts him gently to rest. 
 
 Treading lightly on padded feet, a lone shadow makes his way onwards into the depths of Core Central, carrying a dark destiny yet-unfulfilled. 
 
 Vincent Seven watches it go with cold, unseeing eyes like peeling paint. The loss is of no consequence to his masters. He is one of many. 
 
 But just this once he is special.
