__**Sniper POV Exercise**__

I cautiously shuffled down the dimly lit street, well aware of the snipers perched high on the rooftops, watching. I rounded the corner and froze. High up on the opposite side of the street was a sniper, his gun following a car that was coming to a stop just metres away. Then he saw me. His rifle trained on me, I casually walked to the cover of the armoured car. I stopped and told the driver the position of the sniper and walked on, hoping he had not realised what I had done. But the I heard a gunshot. I glanced over my shoulder to see a man pitch forward and tumble from the turret of the armoured car behind me. I looked up and found myself staring down the barrel of the snipers rifle. He fired. I felt an intense pain in my chest and fell to the ground. I remember the everlasting darkness closing in around me, and then…nothing.
