Simulation

Joseph Gerald Blake, Hunter

Fuck you squirrel!- I yelled as I climbed down a tree and walked towards the squirrel I shot with my crossbow. I walked back to my camp I had set up with my father 3 months ago. He was killed when we were chased down by wolves and we had lost our arrows. He boosted me up a tree and killed 2 with his knife, but the rest got him. Once I got to camp I sat down and skinned the squirrel. I put it on a stick and then over a fire for a bit. I went into my small shack I made of sticks and leaves, and switched out my crossbow for my bow and arrows. I put the arrow pouch on my back and put my bow to the side of me as I turned the squirrel around on the stick. I've been having a uncomfortable feeling 2 years ago like I was being watched. I always told myself it was just from my dads death that got me those feelings. But then I thought maybe it wasn't that. I heard leaves crunch from the right of my camp and I picked up my bow. I quickly and quietly climbed up a tree and hid behind a branch so the leaves covered me. I pulled an arrow back on my bow's string and waited. Soon enough I saw a man walk up to my campfire where the squirrel was being cooked. He looked around then began to walk to my small shack. From the tree I just had the tip of my arrow following his every move. I walked out of my shack with my crossbow and some arrows. Time to take the shot... That crossbow was my father's- I said silently and shot the arrow through his leg. The second I let go I jumped off the tree and took out my knife. I was wearing a Gillie suit I had made out of a sweatshirt and some pants sigh leaves and dry mud. I put on my hood and covered my face with a piece of green cloth. As the man was struggling in the floor trying to pull the arrow out of his leg, I kicked down his face and put my knife to his neck. Who the hell are you? You don't look like a lost hiker- I said and pressured the knife on his neck slightly. Don't kill me please, please don't kill me... Hunter- the man said and gripped my neck with his hand and threw me near the fire. He stood up with ease and pulled the arrow right out of his leg with no blood. I picked up my knife and stabbed his chest. He just got knocked backwards a bit and pulled the knife out with no blood too. He picked me up from my neck again and threw me to the tree. My vision began to get blurt from the hard hit. After a bit he began to walk towards me slowly and then I stood up. I gripped two arrows in my hand and began to charge him. He attempted to hit me but I ducked and shoved both of my arrows through his neck and began to spread the arrows apart. After a bit of struggle I tore his neck apart and saw nothing but wiring, metal, and a broken exo skeleton. A fucking robot?- I said aloud. I heard leaves behind me and once I turned around I saw a white Flash beam out and put me right on the ground passed out... I was assuming hours have passed and the only the I saw and heard was blue figures walked around and the word "Simulation" I didn't know what the hell was going on...
