Simulation

Most people say war can change you, some say that's bullshit. Well whoever say that it's bullshit can go to hell with to rebels I've killed. War can leave you paranoid and scared. You refuse to trust some people because of what you think can happen. The good thing is, you learn to not always trust your gut. And you learn how to fight, use weapons, study people, and have fair reflexes when fighting. I was walking down the street to the coffee shop I usually go to. There's been times when I've taken care of crimes before the police were even contacted. I sat down at the coffee shop once I got a small expresso. I heard the coffee shop door get kicked open and a shotgun cock. Everybody began screaming and dropped to the ground as the 2 men began to yell. I just stayed seated and drinking my coffee. Get on the fucking ground!- one of the men said and walked towards me with a pistol. On the ground- he said silently as he put the pistol to my head. I took one more sip of my coffee and saw it was half empty. I stood up as the man began to back off. I quickly pushed his hand making him shoot the ground and smashed the coffee on the side of his head. I took the pistol from his hand and used him as a shield as the other man shot at me with the shotgun. The other man grabbed a hostage and rushed out the door to his car. I dropped the man I used as a shield and shot his head. I ran outside and saw the man's car driving down the street. Just my luck- I said as I saw a motorcycle still on and it's owner hiding behind a car so it was still on. I took the motorcycle and began to chase after the car. It began to head out to the woods and I began to shoot at the car. Finally I used my last 2 bullets and shot out one of the tires. The car drifted left and right and crashed into a tree. The man opened his door and crawled out slowly with blood running down his face. I got off the motorcycle and walked to the backseat where the hostage was and took her out. I put her against a tree and saw her struggling to keep her eyes open. I walked to the man crawling away in anger. I kicked him on his back and began to punch his face repeatedly. I walked to the car and broke off a piece of smashed metal. I walked back to him and stabbed his neck with it. Another asshole off this city... Little shit- I said and began to walk to the hostage but she was gone. I turned around to the sound of screeching and saw a white Flash and knocked out. I didn't remember much but blue figures and the word "simulation" being repeated...
