OOC: Count me in!
Darren rubbed his numb hands and whistled cheerily to try and clear his mind. He would usually have his bagpipes with him to calm him but it wasn't exactly a weapon of mass destruction was it?
He had been sent into the forest to investigate a strange noise the camp had heard a while back. Darren had assured his CO that it was most probably a rabbit or something but he had been insistent. Paranoia had struck and suddenly the entire camp was terrified of a massacre on behalf of the Germans.
Darren still wasn't sure why he had been chosen. Perhaps it was a punishment for his apparent disresepct. Whatever the reason, Darren had no intention of spending the rest of the night scrabbling around a pitch black forest for the rest of the night. He would probably return to camp in a couple of minutes and say he had seen nothing.
A rustling in the distance brought Darren to his sense. It sounded suspiciously like a human, or at least a human-sized figure. Darren withdrew a couple of steps and spotted a single house a couple of yards behind. It belonged to a lonely old Polish hermit who spent most of his time trying to eat his own boots. Darren ducked behind the large building and listened intently. There it was again. Panic took over.
Without thinking, Darren sent a warning shot into the forest, comlpletely disregarding the fact that it could just as easily have been an ally as it could have been one of the enemy. Darren gulped. What would happen if it had been a German? Darren breathed in and out and waited. Ajnd waited some more.
